This work presents the initial results from two years of Tenkuä, a participatory futures workshop created by CENTRO, a higher education institution in Mexico City specialised in creativity. This experience aims to help participants to have a better understanding of the contexts and environments where they live and to design strategies that can contribute to improving community life. The methodology of the workshop combines a foresight framework with the Right to the City approach. The preliminary results refer to the learning experience as a product of design itself and how, during the process of participatory futures, the relationship between the institution and its neighbours was transformed into an experience of participatory presents.
