Messages of Hope, Creativity and Wonder

We’ve been embracing the excitement of 2022 with the launch of our new book; Visions of the Future is now published and out in the world. It really is invigorating to watch the books travel around the globe - and we’re ready and raring to see how far we can share these brilliant young voices. 

From initially collecting everyone’s submissions to having the book published and in our hands, Visions of the Future has been an incredible journey and we hope you’ve enjoyed following the project. Thank you again to everyone who got involved. Without you, this book wouldn’t have been possible. And thank you to those of you who have ordered your copies. Young people’s messages of hope, creativity and wonder about our future are being heard. 

As the new year is well and truly underway, we’re looking forward to the new opportunities 2022 will bring. Turning to the insightful ideas young people have about our futures can help give all of us a fresh perspective. Young people have been thinking about the global issues that we face in our future and their dreams for changing the world for the better; by building a greener earth, tackling inequality after COVID-19, and spreading kindness and positivity.

The book is published but there’s more work to be done to get young people’s ideas out there. We’re busy working on fresh ways to share young voices and empower them to express their opinions. We have kick-started our social media for 2022 and plan on sharing submissions even further here on our blog. Our Instagram page has also been reshaped as a platform for young people to engage with - so do encourage anyone you know to follow along. We can’t wait to watch this grow this year. 

If you’ve only recently discovered us and weren’t able to take part in Visions of the Future, don’t worry. We have been making big plans around expanding this project, and will be giving you new opportunities to get involved with very soon. 

We hope you enjoy reading Visions of the Future, and stay involved for the exciting developments 2022 will bring us.
