| Eight scenarios which emerged from design sessions during the first meeting of Future Fabulators, 9-13 October in Linz, Austria. The sessions were co-designed by FoAM and Time's Up, hosted by Maja Kuzmanovic. | Four scenarios emerged from design sessions during the first meeting of Future Fabulators, 10th October in Linz, Austria.

| This 3 hour long session was designed as a warm-up of the kick-off meeting, before delving into administrative and logistical details. The aim was to allow the group to explore the goals and activities of the project outside of the narrow funding guidelines. We started from aspects that are fixed (such as the locations, financing people, experiments, activities etc.), looked at factors that could make the project succeed or fail, broadened the view with external macro-trends and ended with four possible scenarios that could emerge beyond the project's end date. In this session scenario building was used primarily as an ice-breaker, a method to get to know the people in the consortium, hear their perspectives on the larger context of the project, as well as its long view. It also made apparent the participants' creative, analytical and collaborative skills and interests. | This 3 hour long session was designed as a warm-up of the kick-off meeting, before delving into administrative and logistical details.

| Two scenario axes that were chosen during the exercise: stable climate <-> climate chaos; dynamic stability <-> perpetual crisis. The following four scenarios were created: | Two scenario axes that were chosen during the exercise: stable climate <-> climate chaos; dynamic stability <-> perpetual crisis. The following [[future_fabulators_legacy_scenarios|four scenarios]] were created: |

| ==== What will happen to fear in 2033? ==== | |
| |
| The aim of this session was to experiment with scenario building as a basis for creating back-stories or story-worlds for physical narratives and pre-enactments. The hypothesis was that this process allows a diverse group of people to create and agree on back-stories that are rooted in the present situation in a relatively short amount of time. The original plan was to do this over 2 days (day1: create skeleton scenarios), day 2: construct storyworlds), however due to time constraints of the people in the consortium, the session was shortened to one day. The focal issue was chosen by the organisers based on the topics emerging from the conversations in three previous days as one that can be interpreted both on a personal and a global level - the gap that the Future Fabulators are aiming to fill. The morning focused on contextualising the micro- and macrocosms of fear, while the afternoon was dedicated to creating scenarios and sketches of story-worlds. | ==== Debrief ==== |

| Two scenario axes that were chosen during the exercise: isolation & compartmentalisation <-> universal translation & true interdisciplinarity; ethical economics without externalities <-> greed-based economics. The following four scenarios were created: | |

| * [[the shire]] | Back to [[scenarios]] |
| * the land of [[little dictators]] | |
| * [[borderless archipelago]] | |
| * A-maze, the [[island of ultra-fluid]] exploitations/opportunities | |
