Meet in your strand rooms (more information about the location of your groups will be provided upon arrival). Mentors will guide the groups to delve into futures thinking processes to sketch out actionable roadmaps for implementation at their schools. Groups can create visual roadmaps, set milestones, and identify resources and collaborations needed to move their projects forward. A collaborative space can be set up with materials for sketching, brainstorming, and roadmap planning. This structured yet flexible setup for the last day encourages attendees to transition from ideation to action planning in a collaborative and supportive environment. This workshop is designed to be a hands-on, engaging session where attendees can work together to create tangible action plans, fostering a sense of accomplishment and forward momentum as the conference concludes.
