Sumario:[EN] We present the experience of the researching and making of the Futures Design specialty, graduate program for the training of experts in solving social problems based on the methods of foresight, set of tools and techniques to systematize the imagination to design possible, probable or preferable futures. We concluded that in itself, the experience aims to provide a solution to a cultural problem that significantly permeates all walks of life: shortterm vision. The presentation covers the background of the project, the description of the research process, program exposure and the current status of the project, which takes place in the institutional framework of CENTRO, an institution dedicated to the professionalization of the creative economy. Among the most important results of this experience that can be identified, in addition to the program itself, which is already current and duly validated by the Ministry of Public Education in Mexico, the formation of a cloister of national and international teachers highly motivated and committed to the experience; the integration of an advisory board with representatives of the most important think-tanks on futurology around the world (the World Future Society, the World Future Studies Federation, Institute for the Future, among others) and incorporating CENTRO to the international discussion in the matter of futures, understanding the future as objects of complex design despite its non-existence, are integrated -conjured- to material reality through narrative, objects, prototypes, scenarios and other material expressions that help guide decision-making in the present . The designing of futures poses a provocative challenge since CENTRO has 13 years of experience training professionals in design, communication and marketing; as part of their maturation process, the institution has decided to commit to design in a more abstract and dense sense in order to train specialists capable of using their wits (and to this extent, contribute to creative economy and society knowledge) systematically to contribute to the creation of ad hoc social realities for a future we consider desirable (futuribles).
