D 2.2 – Preferred scenario co-creation workflow development journal

The Youth Decide 2040 project is funded by the EU Horizon Europe program and is designed to foster the co-creation of scenarios outlining preferred futures for EU democracy. These scenarios should demonstrate how democracy might evolve in a desirable manner - taking advantage of emergent opportunities that a changing world presents while remaining resilient to threats and challenges. The project's second work package (WP2) was conceived of as a phase of the project to design and test a scenario co-creation workflow. The workflow's primary purpose would be to help European youth articulate and visualise visions of desirable futures for European democracy in the year 2040. This workflow aims to promote inclusivity, diversity of perspectives and experiences, procedural transparency and trust building between the participants, the project, and ultimately the European Commission. This deliverable was written to track key moments and decisions across the workflow design process, so that other groups may learn and adapt from the lessons we have gathered along the way.
