I foundnd an interesting article that reports on how to live a year without money, by becoming semi-self sustainable, which relates to a couple of projects:

I mentioned critical design as a method to encourage a visual discussion with an audience. Here's a good description of it:

And, somewhat related are the works of design fiction. difference being that critical design makes judgements and critiques status quo, design fiction is about making things that tell stories and tickle imagination… Perhaps something to inspire the 'glue group' - how to create an environment / experience that incorporates existing experiments in a story of a very different kind of future…

Finally Nik mentioned Oblique strategies as a playful way to encourage people to do things differently:

Another example of cards that help people discuss complex future visions:

“They are the kind of activists who carry farming equipment not to symbolise the proletariat, but because they've got some serious hoeing to do. They're not mild-mannered; they're angry. And while they may be patient when it comes to buds flowering, when it comes to urban wastelands, unsustainable town planning, the food industry, unemployment, social exclusion and the relentless grey, grey, grey of our towns and cities they are extraordinarily feisty.”
