Stranger job
Description
It is a speculative design game, part of the AYCH Futures tools. Stranger Job draws on the collective intelligence of a group to imagine, question and create unexpected jobs of the future. The preparation was done collectively with Brest Metropole & Université de Bretagne Ouest for the context (transitions & jobs) : a perfect example of cooperation between two hubs : Transitions Competences reformulated transitions
When is it useful?
It is a great tool for engaging young people (or not that young) on a collective reflection around the future of work & jobs. As it invites participants to challenge conventional ways of thinking about jobs, it puts the teams in a prospective and completely creative mindset, perfect for having serious fun!
