How will we live in the future? Or to put it another way, how do we actually want to live in the future? How do we want to travel, live, shop or work? What are we afraid of and what do we dream of?

In the future podcast "How Germany ticks", representative results from the Foundation for Future Studies' almost 50 years of research are presented, analysed and discussed on a weekly basis. And, of course, a forecast for the future is also given!

Ayaan Güls, Press Officer of the Foundation for Future Studies, and Ulrich Reinhardt, Scientific Director of the Foundation and professor in Germany and the USA, always look ahead with confidence and optimism and encourage people to look to the future.

    How to make volunteering attractive again

    Season 3, Episode 16

    As is so often the case in life, there is a huge discrepancy between desire and reality when it comes to volunteering. Two thirds of Germans would like to take on an honorary position, but in fact less than a third do so on a regular basis.

    In this episode, find out not only the reasons for and against volunteering, but also what could be done specifically to make volunteering fit for the future.

    What will be considered good behaviour in 2024

    Season 3, Episode 13

    Good behaviour and appropriate manners govern how we interact with each other. But values and norms change over the years. What is the unwritten law in 2024? Are you still allowed to go out without your partner? Do we always greet each other with a handshake and do we have to be open to other opinions?

    Why budget holidays are so popular

    Season 3, Episode 12

    Holidays at last, but the holiday budget is tight. That's what more and more Germans are experiencing. However, at least some of them want to spend their best weeks at home. As a result, some travellers need or want to save money and the potential for budget holidays is correspondingly high.

    In this episode, find out how and what German citizens are saving on in order to still be able to enjoy a relaxing holiday and where the travel market as a whole will be heading in the future.
