Portal:Narratives

Articles from the portal Narratives present case studies of Foresight exercises. Such an article would typically include internal links to articles from the portal Clarifications, when the narrative of the Foresight exercise uses a concept that is the topic of an article from that portal, and internal links to articles from the portal Practices, for each formal Foresight method mentioned in the narrative. Introducing a new article in the portal Narratives implies that new segments will be added to articles from the portal Practices. This is a mandatory task for the narrative’s author.
