Wheel of Future, as presented here, is an adaptation after the activity with the

same name, part of the “Are You Ready for the Future?” manual, part of the project 

“Post-Pandemic Narratives 2040 – Artifacts from the Future of Truth” project

implemented by Monomyths Association in partnership with Young Iniative Association

with the financial support of the Active Citizens Fund Romania, programme funded by

Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway through the EEA Grants 2014-2021.

Number of participants – any number up to 40. More participants does not allow fruitful

discussions. Best number, based on the experience is between 15 to 20. 

Materials needed – Wheel of Future worksheets adapted to the topic, markers, room

which allow to form teams and to group separately. 

Stage 1 – short intro in the method (5 - 10 min.) – what is the purpose, which are the

aims etc. 

Recommendation for facilitators – Is better to make the intro in plenary and to make sure

that everyone understood what’s the task, topic etc. 

Stage 2 – forming groups of 3 to 5 participants (depending of the size of the big group)

and sharing the worksheets. (5 min.)

Stage 3 – working in groups (20 to 30 min., according to the time have at disposal and to

the group)

Recommendation for facilitators – navigate between the teams and encourage them to

widen the areas explored. 

Stage 4 – presenting in plenary the outcomes of the discussions and debates (timing

flexible, according to the availability, involvement of the participants etc.). There are

many ways to do it – each team presenting all the domains, or, one by one each team will

tackle one domain and the others just add if they have something different. 

Recommendation for facilitators – make sure that every voice is heard, but do not leave

the participants to stay too much on a single topic. A holistic approach, with connections

between domains is preferable. 

Stage 5 – debriefing (timing depends of the involvement of the group and to the

availability). 

Recommendation for facilitators – ask targeted questions such as: how was the method, 

how do you feel now, what do you think can be improved etc.
