Abstract The article reflects the role of theater in the Italian school, starting from the research carried out with an experience in social theater in a high school in Pavia during the Covid-19 pandemic. The difficulties due to distancing have made evident the importance of the socializing role of theater in person for the training of students, forced to undergo complex transformations due to the pandemic situation like the whole world of live entertainment. The centrality of the body seemed irreplaceable, but its absence prompted us to explore new forms of expression, integrating performance and mediatization, bringing together theater-school and professional theater in the rethinking of liveness. The article is divided into two parts: the first describes the social theater in the development of the school-theater in Italy; the second deals with the ethnographic research carried out in the Pavia high school between March 2020 and May 2021.

Abstract It is easy to interpret a family home run in a delimited physical place. An ecological home can be discovered once family members enter their personal life with animate beings and inanimate natural objects. As personal and social life have a spiritual extension, there could also be spiritual homes. Humans—living in a community with nonhuman beings on a particular stage of nature—may become significant for legal purposes. This independent article will discuss how the concepts of physical, ecological, and spiritual homes can be identified and how their legal significance can be acknowledged.

Abstract The main objective of this article is to explore new paradigms of teacher training in the field of environmental education. That is why this qualitative study explores the literature on ecological economics and degrowth to identify the most important theoretical principles that can be integrated into environmental education practices. From a transdisciplinary approach, the study integrates a philosophical and epistemological dialogue between scientific knowledge and indigenous wisdom of the Ecuadorian peoples. Then, the results of introducing the ecological economics foundations in the Ecuadorian environmental education policies are described with the analysis of the TiNi program. Subsequently, the emergence of the regenerative economics in the literature is discussed. To conclude, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are questioned for their conventional economic vision, and regenerative cultures are proposed to promote world futures focused in human well-being and environmental justice.

Abstract The academy’s separation of the arts from the sciences constricts researchers’ opportunities to engage with works of art and literature that pause our time-worn processes of data collection and analysis. From the works of Humboldt and Goethe to more recent writers and artists, literature and art offer us moments to stop and think differently about the ways in which we interact with our environment and others, human and nonhuman. In moments of enchantment, awe or stillness, we might lose ourselves, and imagine other less anthropocentric ways of being in the world and new transdisciplinary forms of collaboration.

As the local start-up landscape strengthens and private sector activities expand, Kazakhstan could benefit greatly from expanding the application of futures and foresight thinking. The methodology could result in enhanced business strategies and implementation plans as well as in an increased planning capacity from the local authorities to create an ecosystem that fosters economic growth overall. We held two workshops aimed to (i) clarify emerging issues and trends—the changing future, (ii) empower leaders and managers to create the futures they desire, and (iii) identify factors impeding the preferred future. The first workshop explored futures scenarios in five thematic areas and concluded with a clear strategy in each. Instead of trying to solve problems of the present, participants explored possibilities of the future, one where Kazakhstan did not fall behind but wisely used the future to become more competitive. The second workshop applied futures strategic thinking to agriculture development. Participants’ optimistic scenario was one where Kazakhstan becomes a global leader in agriculture by using technology innovation, recombining knowledge and science, and disseminating them widely among farmers. Agriculture would be less regulated, have no top–down policies, be environmentally sustainable, and meet rural people’s needs. It was a scenario where high-value agriculture changes production and the Kazakhstan quality “brand” was strengthened through rural–urban links. The participants animatedly engaged in a futures-oriented interactive dialogue to deepen their understanding of emerging issues, cultural and structural pull-backs, and possible policy solutions. They also demonstrated that the futures and foresight methodology helps improving communication, break silos with a common vision, and define collective actions. Visiting Kazakhstan, it feels the futures have already arrived but are pulled back and hidden in practices and memories of the past.

This essay aims to share with the community of practice an approach for incorporating and embedding Futures and scenarios into business school curriculum as part of strategy development practice with a view to strike a balance between scientific rigour and practical relevance of management education. Through the conduct of a 3-day Foresight for Strategy Development workshop curated for as an intensive course for a cohort of DBA students at the Narxoz Business School, Almaty, Kazakhstan, the author describes the step-by-step process of building scenarios and shares some of the learning outcomes from the workshop. The 3-day workshop was designed with two objectives; that is, to teach the basic skills of futures thinking by introducing futures studies, and to incorporate the five stages of scenario development process as part of strategic planning practice. While students learned the reasons for and the process of embedding scenarios as a planning tool, and were able to apply theory to practice in classroom exercises, this cohort of DBA students found it quite challenging to have a proper grasp of Futures concepts and methodologies. They were overwhelmed by the amount of contents they have to process within the space of a 3-day intensive workshop. This feedback was not peculiar to this cohort of students and it was a common lament received from the various workshops conducted in different countries including Malaysia, United Arab Emirates, Taiwan, Bahrain and Oman. This was particularly true with those in the developing economies where futures studies is relatively a new discipline. This experience tells us there is an opportunity to fill this void by introducing and embedding futures studies and scenarios as part of the planning and strategy development in Management courses in Kazakhstan.

Futures studies and foresight are new disciplines for Central Asia. Their methodology is making the first steps in the region. The present paper tests how narrative foresight can be applied in the field of religious education reform. For Kazakhstan, Islamic education has become a critical aspect of socio-cultural life. Its present situation requires radical changes, and the seven core questions of narrative foresight methodology help to research the vital dimensions of the problem in the quest for a solution. Going through the history of the issue, the forecast for current trends, identifying critical assumptions, and building alternative futures helps to arrive at the preferred future for Islamic education in Kazakhstan. With a new vision, some practical steps come forward that can guide to that new reality embodied in a new metaphor.

This short essay reflects on the process of running a Causal Layered Analysis scenario exercise with the Institute for Professional Development at the Academy of Public Administration in Kazakhstan in collaboration with John Sweeney (from the then Qazaq Research Institute for Futures Studies). We worked with approximately 50 public administrators over a 3 day period, culminating in a Causal Layered Analysis scenario process that challenged and reviewed the national vision. The process surfaced fundamental dynamics and tensions in national identity and representation. The findings and process are detailed here.
