Young Voices for the Cosmos – A Digital Future Lab on Transformation and Participation
Research department: Economy and Civil Society
Project Leader within IRS: Dr. Vivien Sommer Judith Lange
Consortium: Leibniz Institute for Research on Society and Space (Coordination) Leibniz Institute for Regional Geography Deutsches Museum Nürnberg – Das Zukunftsmuseum
Funding Organization: Leibniz Association
Duration: 05/2026 - 06/2027
As part of the project, a “Future Learning Lab” for children and young people is being conducted in the form of a workshop. At the Deutsches Museum’s Future Museum, children and young people are encouraged to collaboratively develop their own visions of humanity’s future in the cosmos as scenarios. These visions of the future will be visualized in a Deep Map. As an interactive tool, the Deep Map can be used by stakeholders from research, space exploration, and politics to guide their own actions.
The project is funded by the Leibniz Lab “Disruptions and Transformations.”
