dc.description.abstract	Futures Ministries is a speculative world-building game, originally developed by Bem Le Hunte in 2015, in which participants collaborate to imagine a new government in a future scenario. Thinking through the lens of governance and policy, participants role-play as alternative government ministers to envision a new and better future for an interconnected society. The aim of the game is to suspend disbelief for change, re-writing narratives to envision new ways of thinking, governing, and living. This entry focuses on a regenerative extension of this game—More-Than-Human Future Ministries. Introducing a more-than-human lens to Future Ministries encourages players to represent other ecological actors, not just focusing on humans. It encourages life-centered futures thinking and creativity, going beyond human-centered approaches to imagining new regenerative possibilities. It is an activity that encourages participants to be hopeful, radical, critical, empathetic, and collaborative while considering both human and wider ecological well-being.

Abstract:

Futures Ministries is a speculative world-building game, originally developed by Bem Le Hunte in 2015, in which participants collaborate to imagine a new government in a future scenario. Thinking through the lens of governance and policy, participants role-play as alternative government ministers to envision a new and better future for an interconnected society. The aim of the game is to suspend disbelief for change, re-writing narratives to envision new ways of thinking, governing, and living. This entry focuses on a regenerative extension of this game—More-Than-Human Future Ministries. Introducing a more-than-human lens to Future Ministries encourages players to represent other ecological actors, not just focusing on humans. It encourages life-centered futures thinking and creativity, going beyond human-centered approaches to imagining new regenerative possibilities. It is an activity that encourages participants to be hopeful, radical, critical, empathetic, and collaborative while considering both human and wider ecological well-being.
