PRE-CONFERENCE SEMINAR #1: Prairie Canada Future Game

Do you want to:
•· Engage your fellow leaders and stimulate debate and discussion about the future of your community?
•· Add extra depth and strength to your regional planning efforts?
•· Hone leadership and decision making skills?

The Prairie Canada Future Game is a highly interactive facilitation tool that allows participants to tackle the challenges of economic and community development in a fun and engaging manner. It is played in a small team format with teams making a series of critical decisions that shape the future of a typical prairie region over a 25 year period.

The tool allows leaders to work with their groups in a dynamic way. By observing how today’s decisions can impact tomorrow’s future, key leaders and groups can focus on the importance of a long term vision and what it takes to get there.

Presented by: Alberta Enterprise and Advanced Education
