Are you asking yourself, “How can I empower youth?” because there is no 'learning as usual’ anymore?
I understand. It’s a rapidly changing landscape as we all adjust to keep youth learning, provide free access to resources and activities, empower them as leaders, activists, innovators and entrepreneurs to unfold their futures and give them the wellbeing tools to adjust to this global disruption.
The starting point is to connect them back to their imagination and creativity, so that they can build the skills and tools for unfolding and shaping futures that protect the planet.
There is no learning as usual anymore, it's far more exciting than that!!!
Now is exactly the right moment to empower young people using the powerful tools of futures thinking and wonder, enabling them to see the world with new eyes and find new paths forward.
