other formats?
I was having another chat with a friend and colleague who is heavily involved in attempts to influence drug policy… in relation to the AOL theme, this is a case in point - as you may know - globally drug policy is dominated by a harm reduction approach that is founded on 2-3 experiments that drew conclusions about the addictive nature of heroin based on rats in cages - Bruce Alexander’s work talks about a different approach - the globalisation of addiction based on a counter experiment nicknamed ‘Rat Park’ & there’s a great graphic novel report of this - perhaps graphic novel format might be an alternative way to gather and diseminate insights?
Anyway I was reminded of the Museum of the Future that another connection who’s expertise lies in scenario planning around the future of health… he’s used MoF in helping people to imagine the future - I think he did this with young people for a project we were involved in a few years ago. I wondered whether that might make for an interesting session that gets away from simple ‘downloading’ good info and purely presentation based formats? I’m due to meet up with him soon - I’ll ask him what would be involved…
