Flow In Action: Futures Wonder Labs empower young people to explore and find their belief in their future power, as problem-solvers for themselves, their communities and the planet.
These interactive, learning-by-doing workshops are a fusion of futures literacy and entrepreneurial education, with a mission to empower young people to believe that they can take action.
Exploring futures around problems that they are in-love with, enables young people to build essential competencies around self-efficacy, ethical and sustainable thinking, mobilizing others and perseverance: increasing positive emotions which contribute to wellbeing, as well as a sense of agency in their capacity to create solutions.

"From the very first interaction I had with Elaine, two things were clear: she knew what she was talking about and she had what it takes to help my students raise the game.
Elaine was easily reachable and extremely proactive, which meant that she already had a strong sense of what we were trying to achieve before she had even set the foot in our school.
Sharing the core values of our school as well as deeply connecting with her target audience, Elaine led our students to go beyond what I thought them capable of, embracing and making their own the notions of 'value proposition', 'value chain structure', 'profitability model' as well as 'social, ecological and leadership awareness'.
Suddenly the UN Sustainable Development Goals were no longer an element you needed to refer to at some point in your presentation but a clear call to action that resonated in all the students' decisions...'

"I liked this because I was able to express my creativity. It was also very interactive, fun and the same time I learned a lot. It taught me how to create ideas from a starting point which helped me in other subjects. I recommend it to students and young business people because it helps you to create ideas, think more creatively and use visual maps to think more efficiently."
