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.

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!

The game should be played in groups of 6 participants. Within this group, 3 pairs will be formed.

Development time: around 2 hours

Materials needed (all documents are in French at the moment):

* Ideally a big screen and a projector or a TV to broadcast the introduction video and the guidelines. * Markers and paper

* Game's rules

* Introduction video

* Transition cards

You will find below a suggestion of steps that we have tested in our workshops. Feel free to make any pertinent change.

Within your group of 6

STEP 01: Ice-breaker. Each participant chooses one image and writes down keywords inspired by it/what the image makes you think of. Each participant explains to the rest of the group their image.

STEP 02: get in pairs (there will be 3 pairs). Each pair picks a “sector” card and places it on the game board.

STEP 03: the group of 6 turns over the “transition” cards. These three transition cards will be common to the whole group of 6.

STEP 04: Each pair: make a link between the “transition” cards and your sector card. Exchange and discuss.

STEP 05: As a pair: based on your analysis and observations, fill in the card “problems”.

STEP 06: From the identified problems and solutions, think of a future job. Fill in the first part of the job's book.

STEP 07: As a pair, you will present to the rest of the group of 6 your Persona.

STEP 08: In the group of 6, try t identify meeting points or moments and then fill in the journey of your persona
