We shape the future with our students because, by providing them with education opportunities now, we help them reach their potential. However, those potentials are not pre-set. If we can use their and our narrative thought to prefigure subjunctive possible worlds, seeing a change or setting an 15 objective in the future can also have anticipatory effects that can change their imminent present. The abstracts in this book, presented at the 12th HOPE congress in Milan held in May 2023, represent a wide range of ideas and activities from all over the world. They can be used by all those working in the field of children’s and families’ well-being to see possible worlds that can be realized in their own context, place, and time. To shape our future, with education.
