Description
In this episode Kwamou gives us some great insight into the work she has been doing in Africa, providing safe spaces and more importantly a voice for women often overlooked in policy making based on current and future needs. Kwamou is an anticipation specialist seeking the adequacy between our imagined futures and our values, especially fighting against the replication of 'used futures' onto the global South. She is an experienced facilitator and lab designer involved in labs run mainly in Africa and Europe since 2014 for governments, NGOs, CEOs, but also in family settings. Feukeu is also a member of the editorial board of two scientific journals, Futures and Prospective et stratégie. She has spoken for a variety of constituencies: Stanford D.school, World Bank, UN Office for Africa, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands, African Technology Policy Centre, etc. She previously worked for UNESCO on building futures literacy in Africa and worldwide, the African Union on diaspora issues, and several NGOs in Niger, Uganda and Tanzania on minorities' rights and the implementation of necessary training for the actual fulfillment of their rights.
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.
