WE HELP YOU FEEL

THE FUTURE

NOT JUST THINK ABOUT IT

Feeldwork helps you sense what’s next and get moving.

It’s our playful take on fieldwork, designed to bring the future off the page and into real life. Using immersive methods, emotional insight, and hands-on tools, we turn future thinking into something people can feel, test, and respond to.

Whether we’re working with policymakers, communities, or creative collaborators, Feeldwork transforms abstract ideas into lived experiences; prototypes of possible futures that spark connection, conversation, and change.

What we do?

We support change by helping people explore what they want the future to feel like — using playful, experiential methods to turn that into action today.

Our work spans social, environmental, and place-based projects, all geared toward making future change feel real, grounded, and regenerative.

  • Thinking isn’t enough — we need to feel the future

  • Data alone doesn’t tell the whole story

  • We live through feelings, memories, senses and values , so why leave them out of decision-making?

  • The world is sensory — the future will be too.

  • Experiences help us quickly sense what kind of future we want (or don’t want)

CASE STUDY

Working with Dumfries and Galloway Council to ask What IF… people are more connected to their coastlines in Scotland.

  • Feeldwork have been a tremendous asset to our work in the Leven catchment with LENs. Their flexibility, expertise, and design-centred approach have been invaluable in engaging and supporting communities. We look forward to working with them again!

  • This is the methodology that is missing in policy change here in Scotland!

    Scottish Futures Trust

  • I've absolutely raved about the whole experience. The immersive approach and whole set-up of the course was highly effective and I left feeling inspired and supported, desperate to implement the projects with classes and bringing new ways to research to the classroom.

  • I cannot explain how this event has changed my view on the food system and the way we engage with food. This was a profound immersive experience for me and I have decided to change the way I eat and cook because of it

  • Experiences like this should be the future of community engagement! This is the way to change the future.
