OCIC Symposium 2025: The Role of Foresight and Embracing the Plurality of Possible Futures
Opening our 2025 Symposium, Shannon Kindornay, Chief Operations Officer at Cooperation Canada, was joined by Guillermo Correa of Red Argentina de Cooperación Internacional (RACI) and Andy Ouédraogo of Cooperation Canada to discuss the strategic foresight tools and processes that can help us reimagine global development cooperation in an era of uncertainty and transformation. In this clip, Shannon examines the role of foresight and how we can use imagination, creativity, and hope to look past the challenges of the current moment to see new possibilities. She also reminds us to embrace the plurality of the possible futures that exist.
