COVID lockdowns/confinements are prompting us to take a hard look at inclusion, particularly of children and youth, to create equitable futures for all.

The INFOCUS Forum 2020 has made this its theme for this year, focusing on how we can collectively develop universal approaches and find effective technologies for expanding inclusion. 

Having spoken at this event, held in the magnificent UN Library at the Palais des Nations in 2019, I'm delighted to be partnering with #INFOCUS Forum 2020 taking place online on 2-3 December 2020. Discover more here: https://2020.infocusconference.com/en/

The main topics of #INFOCUS Forum's 2020 programme are:
 

• How to contribute to the inclusion development in terms of lockdown and social distancing;
• How to use social technologies, created within the lockdown, to reduce the social isolation of children and young people with disabilities and other vulnerable groups in everyday life;
• How can the youth contribute to the SDGs and make a difference in local communities;
• How to promote continuity and accessibility of education and maintainance of workplace in terms of crisis.

I'm really, really delighted to be collaborating with Cheshire East Libraries @ceclibraries to launch the first Futures Wonder Lab® Challenge in the UK. 

The Futures Wonder Lab® Challenge is an innovation ideas challenge, inspiring children and youth (age 5-16 yrs) to be problem-solvers for the planet, using their imagination and creativity.

Starting 7th November 2020, this is a monthly challenge, inviting young people to share their ideas, using their creativity as the starting point for making their voices heard on climate action.
