DS1: The future of the bicycle I
Introduction
In the first two double lessons, ideas for future mobility committed to sustainability are to be developed using the future workshop method. The future workshop method was developed by Robert Jungk. The aim of this method is to turn participants into experts on their future by allowing them to give free rein to their imagination and then to work out realistic solutions to a concretely formulated problem with the group, dividing the lesson into the following phases:
* Preparatory phase
* Critical phase
* Imagination phase
* Realisation phase
* Follow-up phase
Preparations
In preparation, you should familiarise yourself with the future workshop method. Kersten Reich has described this method clearly from a constructivist perspective and with many further suggestions.

A room that allows group work in a relaxed atmosphere is conducive to the future workshop. Materials such as pin boards, posters, eddings and cards are necessary to record the rules and results.
