Hello!
Ich bin Isabelle Vuong, Zukunftsforscherin.
Ich konzipiere und moderiere Foresight-Workshops und -Prozesse, die mit Prognosen, Zukunftsforschung, wissenschaftlichen Quellen und Zukunftsbildern arbeiten, um neue Horizonte zu eröffnen – und neue Handlungsmöglichkeiten im Heute.
Denn genau hier, im Heute, müssen wir ansetzen, wenn wir die Herausforderungen unserer Zeit bewältigen wollen.
Ich stehe für einen pluralen Zugang zu Zukünften: eine neue Ausrichtung der Vorausschau und der Futures Literacy, die mit plausiblen wie spekulativen Zukünften arbeitet, um das volle Potenzial der Gegenwart sichtbar zu machen.
Ich lade Sie ein, gemeinsam mit mir plurale Zukünfte zu erkunden.

Biography
After completing a Master's degree in humanities (Film studies, History of Art, French Literature) at University of Lausanne in 2005, I worked in French-speaking Switzerland as a cultural manager and a freelance cultural journalist (24 Heures, Femina, L'Hebdo, Le Courrier).
From 2013 to 2016 I managed the national competence centre for dance Reso - Swiss Dance Network based in Zurich. Reso has a mandate from public authorities (Confederation, cantons and cities) to improve the conditions for professional dance all over Switzerland and develops to that purpose national projects with many partners (Swiss Dance Days, Tanzfest / Fête de la Danse, Dance Forum, etc.).
In 2016 I moved to Berlin to study futures studies (Master Zukunftsforschung Freie Universität Berlin).
In parallel, I conducted reports and surveys for public authorities, such as the first inventory of public dance promotion in Switzerland: "Panorama 2017", commissioned by the National Cultural Dialogue (coordination body between the Confederation, cantons and cities). I also started to design workshops and courses in foresight and futures thinking.
After completing my Master's degree in 2020, I founded Open Futures, an artistic and research program bridging arts, future and sustainability. Open Futures took place from 10 November 2021 to 22 January 2022 in collaboration with three cultural institutions – Shedhalle, Gessnerallee, and Tanzhaus – and the Newrope Lab of the ETH/D-ARCH.
In 2021, I have been hired as a part-time specialist in foresight at the Competence Centre in Sustainability of the University of Lausanne, and accompanied the Greater Geneva Region in the development of its action plan in favour of an ecological transition. In 2022, we developed sustainable futures for and with the 60 members of the Assembly of Transition of the University of Lausanne. I also taught the Competence Center's team in foresight (introduction and scenarios) and futures literacy and acted as an advisor on some of their projects.
The Division of Country Programmes of the International Trade Centre, the joint agency of the United Nations and the World Trade Organisation invited me to lead a visioning and strategy workshop for its 70 people team. With swissfuture, I have been initiating different sessions and engagements around the future of International Geneva, among others an Applied Research Project with Master students in International and Development Studies at the Geneva Graduate Institute.
I have also designed scenarios processes in the domain of cash management for central and commercial banks from 25 countries in Europe, Africa and Asia (EMEA Cash Cycle Seminar (ICCOS), Raiffeisen Bank International).
Finally, I have tought sessions and design workshops on sustainability, in the cultural field (KOSMOS, art mediators yearly network meeting in Kanton Aargau, Migros m2act) and beyond (EPFL Climate and Sustainability Action Week, Institute of Natural Resource Sciences at Zurich University of Applied Sciences, Kennedy Foundation's Youth Ambassador Annual Conference).
