Future Coaching Guide
The Future Coaching Guide provides answers to these questions and enables those working with young people to update their competence.
About the guide
Chapter 1 of the guide provides a general overview of future coaching and introduces the structure of the programme.
The guide also includes a collection of exercises and practical tips for working with young people on future-related topics, developed through research and implemented coaching sessions.
The aim of the exercises is to strengthen participant’s future skills, future-oriented thinking, and resilience.
At the end of the guide, you’ll find ideas on how to continue the journey after the future coaching programme.
Grounded in applied research
In the development of future coaching, particular emphasis has been placed on the perspective of youth employment, which focuses on the utilisation of functional, gamified, and creative methods, youth-centred methods, and genuine encounters with young people.
The training has been based on research and development carried out previously in Finland, such as the futures guidance model launched by the University of Turku’s Finland Futures Research Centre.
