It is important that we start thinking about the processes of acquiring relevant and usable knowledge and skills in much more contemporary, dynamic ways. We need to understand that valuable educational content, used and acquired by our students, is not confined solely to university curricula and higher education institutions. It circulates nonlinearly and online, often without hierarchical systems, and is enhanced and solidified through interactive processes.

Future Studies is one of the few high-quality, carefully designed educational programs that respond to new expectations and challenges in the education process. By affirming the observation of processes and phenomena from various perspectives, integrating theoretical and practical experiences, and keeping up with current developments in selected topics, the program's goal is not only to teach but also to encourage further research, critical thinking, debate, and the development of new solutions that will change societies and communities.

The educational processes, learning methods, and the encouragement of knowledge acquisition through the Future Studies program are adapted to the reality of the time, the remix and mash-up culture in which today's (and future) students are comfortably situated and perceive as natural. By encouraging the combination of existing knowledge, this program opens up learning processes in ways that are familiar and motivating to students, sensitizing them to further independent advancement and the acquisition of diverse knowledge.
