Children and young people have been a driving force for change throughout history. It makes sense therefore that they should also be deeply involved in imagining the future – their future, our future, the future of the planet, and that their absence from foresight and decision making spaces greatly hinders our capacity to anticipate how the world is changing. In this episode we sit down with Fisayo Oyewale. Fisayo is an agriculturist, a Futurist, and a Facilitator working at the intersection of agriculture, technology, youths, and futures. As a foresight practitioner, she uses strategic foresight methodologies to rethink Africa’s futures in data governance, food systems, youth engagement, and artificial intelligence for development. She is a UNICEF Youth Foresight Senior Fellow, a 2021 Tony Elumelu Foundation Entrepreneur, a Young Africa Leadership Initiative RLC Fellow, and one of 100 delegates at the Global Youth Agriculture Summit 2021. Fisayo, along with several other fellows was responsible for putting together the recent UNICEF Youth Foresight Playbook which was launched at the Dubai Future Forum 2023.   This episode was recorded at the Dubai Future Forum, the world’s largest gathering of futurists organized by Dubai Future Foundation. Gathering more than 2,500 global experts from diverse future-focused fields at the Museum of the Future to discuss the most pressing matters that shape tomorrow.   Follow Us   Instagram: reethinking_sustainability   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/ree-thinking-sustainability  Dubai Future Foundation: https://www.linkedin.com/company/dubaifuturefoundation/  Dubai Future Forum: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/dubai-future-forum/posts/?feedView=all    LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/mccabeandpartners  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/unicef  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/reecycle-app/    Our Hosts   https://www.linkedin.com/in/benmccabe1/  https://www.linkedin.com/in/fisayo-oyewale/ Hosted on Acast.
