This document outlines the schedule and content for a one-week training workshop on participatory prospective analysis and scenario building. The workshop will take place from February 1-7, 2015 in Quezon City, Philippines. Each day of the workshop is dedicated to a different step in the foresight method for building scenarios, including defining the system, identifying driving forces, measuring influences between forces, developing future scenarios, and creating an action plan. Participants will learn tools for scenario building and apply them to develop scenarios and a local work plan for their community.
