  1. Norwegian envisioning workshops

  2. Flekkefjord 9.000 innh. Larvik: 43.000 innh.

  3. Structureof workshops The workshops followed a modified version of the TEIP-manual and lasted for about 2,5- 3 hours: Short introduction Individual visioning (10-15 min) Group visioning – idea generation on post-it notes (approx. 1 hour) Short brake Plenary presentation (approx. 1 hour) Summing up

  4. Group work and ideageneration Flekkefjord: 3 groups with 4 - 5 pupils 17 years 10 girls and 4 boys Larvik: 2 groups with 4 pupils 17 years (one 18) 1 girl and 7 boys A little guidance from the teachers in both workshops. Sustainability ? – quite unfamiliar consept

  5. Presentation, discussion and groupingofideas Plenary presentation and discussion of ideas along the three dimensions: Food Mobility Energy/housing

  6. CRISP in the media A journalist from thelocalnewspaper Agder showed up at the first workshop in Flekkefjord

  7. Creatingfuturevisions Ordering and categorizing Food: Green Mobility: Yellow Energy/Housing: Red

  8. 4 visions Numberofpost-it-notes by workshops and visions

  9. Techno-futurism Technology optimismbasedon not inventedtechnologies Wearemakinguseofnewresources, like raw materials from other planets, renewing water by usingtoilet-filters, and changing CO2 to energy Efficiency and mobilityfreedomarehighlyvalued Theoretical underpinning: Sciencefiction 2 technologies: Non-invented and mobile 3 adjectives: Unrealistic, high-tech and mobile Food: «Functional», e.g., on tubes Mobility: Freeuseofhigh-techmobility modes Housingenergy: Not important

  10. Techno-realism Technological optimism based on both new and well known technology People are highly mobile and there are few restrictions on energy and resource use The CO2 is reduced, but because of green technology people have the same (or higher) level of consumption as today Theoretical underpinning: Ecologicalmodernizationofsociety 2 technologies: Renewable energy sources, but also nuclear-, nano- and GMO- technologies 3 adjectives: Technology-optimism, materialism and mobility Food: Production basedonrenewable and hightechsolutions (nano, GMO) Distribution basedontheinternet Mobility: Today’s transport modes used more efficiently Housingenergy: Smart houses are standard

  11. Local Village Based on “Gemeinshaft” or "lasting values" (family, children, tradition and nostalgia) combined with current trends of “healthy life style” Not anti-technology Localproduction and consumption Regained control over consumption Theoretical underpinning: Localism, an alternative to globalisation 2 technologies: Local and renewable energy sourceslike wind and solar energy 3 adjectives: Local, nostalgic, and embedded Food: If possible, produced locally or by the households themselves (in gardens, on roofs) Mobility: Cheap and easelyaccessible public transport Cycle lanes and footpaths Housingenergy: solar panels on house roofs, terrestrial heat etc.

  12. Post-materialism Based on the idea of changing lifestyle in order to save resources both at the local and global level Fair global sharing of resources Critiqueofcapitalism Nostalgic Limitations in the use of natural resources Regulation of consumption and production Theoretical underpinning: Post-materialism (Inglehart, 1970s) 2 technologies: Existing technology Not concerned about the technology development 3 adjectives: Nostalgic, organic, and moralistic Food: Reduced meat consumption Increased consumption of vegetarian and organic food Emphasiseshealthy food, also for fast food Mobility: Restricted car use Housingenergy: Improved isolation and reduction of windows Avoid unnecessary use of electricity in houses

  13. General observationsofthe workshops A strongtechnologicaloptimismwas observed in both workshops The main argument was that we will continue or improve current lifestyles, but with use of significant lower energy use and CO2 emmision Buttherewerealsosomeideasrelated to theaimofchanginglife styles throughlocallyembedded and reducedlevelofconsumption and production
