Get Inspired: Reflecting on the Past, Imagining the Future
Advertisement
Join Ms. Sanjana Chhantyal, a Fulbright alumna, as she reflects on her educational journey from Nepal to the United States. She will share how her experiences with American higher education broadened her perspectives on curiosity, creativity, innovation, and interdisciplinary learning, and how these experiences have influenced her work and inspired her latest initiative, the Museum of Many Futures. Participants will also have an opportunity to ask questions about her Fulbright experience and the lessons she brought back to Nepal.
The session will then move into an interactive, hands-on activity where students will explore futures thinking through a creative futures-and-art toolkit. Drawing inspiration from innovation, emerging technologies, artificial intelligence, and new approaches to education, participants will imagine what learning in Nepal might look like in 2050.
Students will create an artifact from their imagined future, such as a school timetable, curriculum, admissions notice, letter, or something entirely their own. The session will conclude with participants sharing their creations and reflecting on how creativity, innovation, and technology could shape the future of education.
With participants' permission, selected artifacts may be included anonymously in the Museum of Many Futures collection.
No prior experience in art or futures thinking is required—just curiosity, creativity, and imagination!
Format: 90-minute interactive session, 20 participants, no preparation needed.
About the Museum of Many Futures: It is a participatory storytelling project, curated by Sanjana Chhantyal, that invites people to imagine Nepal in 2050 and create artifacts from that future. Its first collection is being developed with support from British Council Nepal for WOW Festival Nepal 2026.
