The main objective of this pilot study was to use creative visioning techniques to develop positive future scenarios for southern Africa. These scenarios were based on “seeds of good Anthropocenes”, which are existing initiatives and projects that aim to enhance social-ecological sustainability. Apart from anchoring the scenarios in the present through the seeds, free rein was given to how different groups of participants developed their future trajectories – which was a transformative and inspiring process for many of the participants.
