Masterclass on Strategic Foresight For Trade Union Development

Disponível em English, Français, Español, Italiano

An online Masterclass introducing the core concepts and practical approaches of Strategic Foresight. This Masterclass explores how foresight can help trade unions and other key actors of the world of work anticipate change, navigate uncertainty, and develop proactive strategies for the future of work. 

The world of work is undergoing rapid transformation driven by technological change, environmental transition, demographic shifts and evolving labour markets. To remain effective and forward-looking, institutions across the world of work—including trade unions, employers’ organizations and public institutions—must move beyond reacting to change and strengthen their ability to anticipate and shape the future. 

This Masterclass introduces Strategic Foresight as a practical tool for long-term thinking, innovation and strategic action. Through different perspectives across the world of work, participants will explore how foresight can support better decision-making, strengthen dialogue among social partners and help organizations prepare for emerging opportunities and risks.
