This article will present some forecasts and postulates regarding the development of social pedagogy in the near future. Social pedagogy is both a theoretical and practical discipline, so if we reflect on its future, then we should discuss these two aspects separately. Obviously, working on the development of theories in disciplines such as social pedagogy makes sense only on the condition that these theories can be then implemented in practice, but it must be also borne in mind that the possibility of influencing the practice by the theory (e.g. social policy or social work) depends on a number of factors on which social pedagogy has no factual impact. Hence, in the context of a discussion on the future of social pedagogy, the distinction between theory and practical needs as well as possibilities of its implementation seems very much justified, because there is always the possibility that an intense development of theory might not be accompanied by equally intense activities in the area of practice.
