Description of the side event (no more than 100 words): This presentation explores the concept of "Dream Tanks," a visionary approach to strategic planning rooted in Afrofuturism. By leveraging collaborative design, Ubuntu theory, artificial intelligence, and appreciative inquiry, Dream Tanks serve as incubators for imagining transformative futures that address systemic challenges. The session will highlight how Afrofuturism’s lens of empowerment, resilience, and creativity can be applied to organizational, community, and global strategic initiatives. Attendees will learn how to harness this framework to inspire visionary thinking and actionable solutions that honor diverse identities and collective progress.
