Back to the Future: Advancing futures literacy through interactive massive open online courses (MOOCs) in the Western Balkans (BTTF)

The project aims to develop futures literacy among young people from the Western Balkans and Croatia, that is, their ability to understand, imagine and actively shape the future.

The “Back to the Future” project develops interactive massive open online courses (MOOCs) in futures literacy for young people aged 19 to 30 from the Western Balkans and Croatia. The courses connect futures literacy with digital transformation, media and information literacy, climate activism, human rights, communication and skills for the future labour market.

Through a virtual campus, students will learn in intercultural and cross-border teams, supported by university professors and experts. The programme is based on problem-based learning, real case studies, mentoring and joint exercises in imagining multiple possible futures.

The project will contribute to modernising curricula, developing shared educational resources and strengthening regional academic cooperation. It will also support advocacy for integrating futures literacy into education and youth policies.
