EFT: Episodic Future Thinking; FTP: Future Time Perspective; UNP: Utopia Now Program; UPW: Utopias Production Workshop; CLT: Construction Level Theory

The objective of the research of the future is to improve decision making processes in diverse areas addressed by the human species in order to identify processes that will lead the individual or society to desired futures. In the Western world, young people in their early twenties are found in the stage of the transition from the high school to the world of adults and make decisions that influence their future development in various areas, such as employment, education, residence, and so on [1]. The Utopia Now Program (UNP) was developed in order to bring about personal, community, and global change among students of education from Israel and Austria in the framework of an international pioneering course. The program is held through the method of a Utopias Production Workshop (UPW), which exposed the participants in a process-based manner to discovery, clarification, and creation of personal and collective aspirations for a utopian future of space and society. Examination of the foresight relies on two main constructs: Future Time Perspective (FTP) and Episodic Future Thinking (EFT) in order to identify characteristics of the tendency for FTP and the ability to build personal future scenarios (EFT). The findings of this research were collected in the qualitative approach using interviews before and after the UNP. The findings indicate that the participation in the UNP contributed to the cultivation and development of FTP and EFT on the personal level, but an expression of the program contribution to the characteristics on the global level was not found.
