No ready-made recipes or certain predictions will be offered but practical tools and useful ways of thinking to navigate a complex and ever-changing environment.

Description

Technology, an aging population, new generations at work, sustainability, migration flows: these are just some of the forces that are transforming, day by day, the world of the social and health professions. There was a time when imagining the future was easier: society was stable, changes slow and predictable. Today, however, we live in a complex, constantly accelerating context, where the future can no longer be "predicted" but must be explored.
 In this scenario, what is needed is not rigid predictions but the ability to read emerging signals, grasp the connections between different phenomena and build new perspectives for action. It means learning to move with agility in an uncertain environment, developing tools that allow not only to react to changes but also to anticipate them and transform them into concrete opportunities for the social and health professions of today and tomorrow. This ability to explore scenarios and prepare for different possibilities is called strategic foresight. It is not a discipline that claims to predict the future, but a set of methods and tools that help recognize emerging signals, link them together, and imagine how people's needs, professionals' skills, and the organization of work might evolve. It is an approach that stimulates strategic vision, because it pushes one to look beyond the immediate; strengthens critical thinking, because it invites questioning about different scenarios without taking anything for granted; and trains adaptability, because it prepares one to face change with greater agility.
