Welcome to the
Global Futurist Initiative
What is after 2030, and how can we prepare for it? To find to our answer, we turn to youth.
introducing sdg 18: youth equity
Evidence
Youth are the cornerstone of progress, yet with over 1 billion youth, many are underemployed, underrepresented in decision-making, underreported in data, and have persistent rates of not being in employment, education, or training (NEET).
Young people not in education or employment are more likely to experience social and economic exclusion. These effects have long-term consequences, even lasting generations. Even when youth reach all the way to access key decision-makers at the highest levels, many feel unwelcomed, unheard, or unengaged.
Action
CAST 4ward uses the arts to provide opportunities for youth to gain exposure to the SDGs, facilitate young people in making their own interpretations about the goals, and enact change.
Assembloids enables intergenerational minds to come together and support each other for moving their social impact goals forward culminating in an Innovation Challenge experience. The SDGs are used as a template in Assembloids for setting the tone to shape the next global goals.
Advocacy
We believe that with all that youth is either underrepresented in or unaccounted for, we need to raise awareness at the highest level. As members of the ‘now’ generation, it is our responsibility to promote youth engagement for those that come after us.
