Workshop 1: Exploring a Post-Citizenship Future
19 -21 February / Changeist (changeist.com)
Venue 19-20 February: Saint Augustine Hall, Rabat
Venue 21 February: MCAST, Mosta
Migrants, cosmopolitans, refugees, ex-pats, aliens, transplants, leavers, joiners - we have many words to describe people who move to be part of a group, place or idea they value. The workshop will investigate the ideas of soft and hard ‘citizenship’, membership and belonging, and how these notions may change in the near future. It will briefly look at the role of Malta in the history of movement and belonging, look at forces that are redefining ‘citizenship’ today and in the near future, and design new forms of citizenship - of places, things, ideas or something completely different. Through the creation of experiential scenarios, artefacts and media, we’ll explore these future forms as if they exist now.
Workshop 2: Panel for Special Programmes
24 -26 February / Extrapolation Factory (extrapolationfactory.com)
Venue 24 February: Grand Masters Palace, Valletta
Venue 25 -26 February: MCAST, Mosta
We invite you to take part in this multi-day speculative visioning event, to serve on the 'Panel for Special Programmes.' This initiative allows EU residents to suggest new prototype programmes to the EU, to be conveyed as a promotional video. This rare opportunity will provide you the chance to design alternative paths for the EU, guided by future-visioning strategists from The Extrapolation Factory. Your story will be told through short films which will be seen by residents, influential stakeholders, and European decision makers.
