Hopes and Aims
On the Narrative Futures programme, I really hope to develop myself and grow as a person in many ways. Firstly, I aim to grow professionally and gain experience through a masters qualification, which will hopefully lead to opening up more pathways. I am really looking forward to learning again and expanding my knowledge of AI, coding, narrative, and much more. I hope to meet new people and forge meaningful, valuable connections with others on my programme and in the wider EFI community. Also, I hope to learn more about potential careers and possibly find my path and where I want to direct my career more specifically.
I hope to develop my current skills, such as writing, communication, organisation, group work, presentation, and critical thinking skills. Additionally, I hope to learn and build many new skills, including coding, creative writing, industry specific skills, and working in a collaborative, interdisciplinary way. Furthermore, I aim to develop creatively and potentially find my own voice, both academically and personally, and expand my horizons.
I am extremely interested in exploring the themes of technology and the future in narratives and art, as well as how these themes integrate into our lives not only creatively, but also practically, through current issues such as climate change and AI. I also hope to really enjoy this programme, connect creatively, and become more confident in my direction and defining my skill set.
Finally, I hope that this programme will challenge me, develop my skills, and offer me experiences and opportunities that I wouldn’t get anywhere else.
