Samenvatting

At the sixth World Congress on Probation and Parole the so called Future Track sessions formed a series of coherent workshops. In these sessions, participants worked towards an agenda for the next World Congress in 2026, in Indonesia. The central question was: ‘How do we, the international probation community, deal with developments that will fundamentally change our field?’ To answer that question, they looked at five major global trends: the safe society, artificial intelligence, the rise of (ultra) right-wing politics, changes in the labour market, and cross-domain collaboration. In this article I provide a summary of the discussions and draw some conclusions.
