Future Journeys: Global Youth Futures
Future Journeys Youth Program: Global Youth Futures
Global Youth Futures is a non-profit organisation. It was established as the youth project by Future Journeys to encourage young people to think about the future as well as to provide a platform for young people to communicate, collaborate and co-create the future.
Global Youth Futures encourages a critical view of our choices and its consequences to our society through intensive interaction. Therefore Global Youth Futures provides an online space for young people from different professions, organisations or countries to come together and exchange and discuss their ideas.
Furthermore Global Youth Futures runs projects to support its goals:
Sponsorship of a resident space at Vibewire Enterprise Hub, to support a young social entrepreneur with her project. The Vibewire Space offers young entrepreneurs a fully equipped works space as well as opportunities to meet, collaborate and gain inspiration from other social and creative entrepreneurs who are creating projects or have experience creating successful projects.
Global Youth Futures Dreaming Weekends, a live-in scenario building and innovation weekend for young people from all over Australia. The weekend allows time to discuss new technologies, world population and development, identify trends in culture, environment, technology, politics, economics. By using futurist methods and processes Global Youth Futures Dreaming Weekends enable young people to understand what is coming, what is possible. What will 2020 be like? 2030? and beyond…
Live Futures 2020, an annual festival which was created by Global Youth Futures and Future Journeys to enable people to understand the future, and to start to co-create it with others. It is a celebration with futurists, artists, community creators, scientists, architects, engineers, technologists, entrepreneurs. Innovation occurs in the accidental meeting space of different
expertise and focus. Diversity creates innovation.
