Futurism and Trend Analysis

Predict, Visualize, and Shape the Future

Learners explore upcoming trends across industries, analyze future scenarios, and present research-backed forecasts. By studying drivers, challenges, and opportunities, students practice future-ready thinking in collaboration.

What is the Activity?

Futurism and Trend Analysis is a forward-looking group activity where learners research, discuss, and present predictions about social, technological, economic, environmental, or healthcare-related trends. Teams begin by selecting a topic focus, such as artificial intelligence, demographic shifts, or renewable energy, and decide on a time frame (short-term or long-term).

Each group investigates the nature of the trend, its type (emerging, disruptive, plateau, etc.), and sources insights from industry reports, journals, and expert opinions. Members divide responsibilities: some identify key drivers like technology or cultural shifts, while others examine impacts, challenges, or sector-specific applications. Visual tools such as graphs, heat maps, and infographics help the group present findings clearly.

The activity concludes with an online group presentation where students explain the trend, analyze its potential outcomes, highlight risks and opportunities, and propose strategic recommendations.
