| Role-playing is an experiential technique where a (future) scenario is translated into a 'live action' situation where the participants play the roles of the inhabitants of the (future) world. It is one thing to talk or write about a possible future scenario, and a whole other thing to enact it. The participants are required to use different types of knowing (beyond the rational and creative) and can acquire new information about the scenario through direct experience of role-playing. If taken seriously, role playing a specific situation from a scenario can offer valuable insights into the perspective of the different stakeholders, uncover hidden assumptions, gaps in the scenario logic and a range of cognitive biases. | Role-playing is an experiential technique where a (future) scenario is translated into a 'live action' situation where the participants play the roles of the inhabitants of the (future) world.
