Q: Do I need to have any prior experience in foresight or futures?
No, futures and foresight skills are not a prerequisite to attend this Masterclass. This specialised learning experience is designed to provide you with in-depth knowledge, practical skills and unique insights into futures in the context of, and application within, entrepreneurial innovation.
Q: How do you differ from other foresight and futures thinking courses?
We tested other formats and: they are great! However, we noticed that current futures and foresight orthodoxies don't address the peculiar nature of entrepreneurship and innovation, as they traditionally focus on applying futures in corporate settings.
Q: Will I get access to the tools and resources from the workshop?
Yes, after the workshop you will get access to all methods, frameworks and resources shown and discussed during the workshop, including the workshop MIRO Board.
Q: How can I apply for a 'Low Income' ticket?
We offer for each Masterclass a 50% discount for a limited number of 'Low Income' tickets. Our aim is to make expert knowledge accessible for people coming from low-income countries, students, educators, caregivers or people who do not have a job at the moment, for example.
These are issued on a trust basis using the discount code teachone50 at the checkout page. Please decide carefully for yourself if you wish to apply this discount to keep access open to fellow-innovators in need.

Q: Will I get an official certificate?
Yes, all participants who complete the Masterclass will get a personal and official Certificate of Completion.

Because of this pre-work, we have developed a refund framework that is fair to you, the other participants, and the educators preparing the session. The first 7 days of your booking? You'll receive a full refund.
