The project Futures Day - Who holds the future? is a collaborative project between Erik Dahlbergsgymnasiet, the Education Administration of Jönköping Municipality and the School of Education and Communication in Jönköping. The project aims to increase students' future competence through creative writing and the use of artificial intelligence (AI). Students' ideas about technology and the role of AI in the future are in focus and "futures scenarios" are used as a framework. The project is based on ecological, economic and social sustainability.
