From the organizer:
Join us in the fourth episode of ATÖLYE Academy’s Future Tense series taking place on September 25, at 5:00 PM (GMT +3).
Register here.
The fourth event of the series is featuring Madeline Ashby, a futurist and science-fiction writer based in Toronto. Using common cognitive distortions, Madeline will talk about how we envision future scenarios to our benefit and detriment. She will discuss how we can avoid falling into self-limiting patterns and embrace a growth mindset when imagining the future.
After Madeline’s presentation, participants will be invited to discuss certain topics shared within the narrative in smaller breakout rooms. Resulting insights from individual circles will be debriefed and collectively captured to frame informed conversations.
The conversation will be hosted by ATÖLYE Co-founder Engin Ayaz and ATÖLYE Academy’s Project Coordinator Deniz Yazıcıoğlu.
