Scenario Planning Curriculum Library

The Curriculum Library brings together a growing collection of resources for teaching and learning in foresight and exploratory scenario planning. Focused on curricular materials, it includes syllabi, reading lists, and classroom exercises that can be adapted across courses, institutions, and learning contexts. More than a repository of documents, the library is intended as an accessible space that helps democratize futures literacy by broadening access to tools for long-term thinking.

We deeply appreciate the contributions that have helped grow the Curriculum Library. If you would like to be part of this collective effort, we welcome submissions of syllabi, teaching materials, and other curricular resources that may benefit the broader scenario planning community. To collaborate and share your materials, please contact us.
