Tell a story!
How do you tell a story? Some authors have looked for the invariants, the ingredients of effective storytelling... They found patterns, principles and tropes present in stories and cultures far apart. There's no magic recipe, but there are plenty of rules to follow, or to shake up!
Making an effort
Between effort and lack of effort, there's a whole list of parameters to consider before judging others.
The future in the other direction
How to give a tangible representation of the future? How can we encourage debate on our orientations for the coming decades? One answer lies in fictional design, which proposes to produce objects or services that make a more or less near future concrete, to give rise to debate, to make visible the paradoxes, the impasses and the dead ends around our representations of the future.
How do you interpret a look?
The way we look and the way we are looked at transforms the relationship between envisioning and staring, between welcoming and judging.
Self-questioning and self-efficacy
Self-questioning is a means of developing a learning culture; it goes hand in hand with self-explanation and self-assessment practices for maximum effectiveness.
