Being open to emergence with Loes Damhof

How can we be open to emergence and embrace uncertainty?

I sit down with Loes Damhof. She joins me to discuss her work; within Higher Education and the Emergence Academy, and how futures literacy could be used within a business context. 

Loes Damhof was elected as Lecturer of the Year of all higher education in The Netherlands in 2016, and decided to spend the attached prestigious Comenis Award on developing Futures Literacy pilots. As a UNESCO Chair on Futures Literacy in Higher Education, she consults and trains staff of global organizations such as FutureWomenX, UNESCO, UNFCCC, ClimateKIC, FORMS, UN, Copenhagen Institute for Futures Studies and Oxfam in multidisciplinary projects. As a Futures Literacy Expert, she designs, develops and facilitates so-called Futures Literacy Labs: collective intelligence knowledge creation processes across the globe that challenge and raise fundamental questions on leadership, migration, climate change and technology. She is a Future Fellow at Hawkwood College, a steering committee member of the Futures Oriented Museum Synergies and an editor for the Journal of Futures Studies.
