LEALA PEDAGOGICAL RESOURCES
The LEALA Repository was coordinated by WFSF President Dr . Jennifer Gidley . It offers Open Access to Pedagogical Resources for futures studies education and futures literacy . Resources include : articles , books , UN and UNESCO reports , course materials , images , videos , PPTs and pedagogical games . It is a hub to gather , store and share futures resources globally . As we run our courses the materials created are added to the Repository so others can learn from them and adapt them to the needs of their own communities . The project encourages participation and collaboration from all players in the ongoing establishment and development of the futures field , through furthering open access to leading-edge pedagogical research and practice . The long-term aim of LEALA is that WFSF members and LEALA participants and facilitators will upload additional materials to enrich the Database . This will increase the capacity of WFSF members to set up live and online teaching occasions globally .

If you want to know where any country ’ s future is heading , look at the main cities - if it cannot manage its cities , it has little hope in imagining its future ... How we manage cities will determine the future .”
