Futures literacy is a concept that is gaining importance in today’s dynamically changing world. It is the ability to use the future as a tool to make informed decisions and implement innovations now. According to UNESCO and the European Union, futures literacy is one of the key competences that allows us to be better prepared for different future scenarios. Through this skill, we can better understand and predict changes, which is extremely important in the context of global challenges such as technological development, and climate and social change.
Futures literacy of quality combines the concept of futures literacy with the pursuit of improving quality in various areas of life (from education to industry), and enables a better understanding of future trends and challenges regarding the quality of products, services and processes.
Moreover, nowadays traditional approaches to literacy may prove insufficient in preparing individuals for the complexity and uncertainty of tomorrow. Integrating the principles of sustainable development and quality management in education requires a future-oriented view of literacy. There is therefore a need for a comprehensive understanding of the interdependencies between futures literacy, quality and sustainable development.
Examples of the application of futures literacy in the context of improving sustainability and quality management are presented.
