Get a Life! is a futures- oriented work life simulation tool for students and counselling personnel in tertiary education. The simulation is built by combining futures studies theories and methods, theories of experiential learning and future-oriented counselling, as well as the use of simulations in a novel way. The result is an online, open-access tool promoting personal futures cognition, self-awareness, and proactivity.
