Next Generation Forum
Next Generation Forum is an independent organisation with the aimof promoting the uniqueness, potential and vital importance of our children – the next generation.To its founding members, the need for such a forum is clear. Astechnological and wide societal changes reshape every aspect of childhood, experts from across the globe are fundamentallyrethinking the ways in which we stimulate the creativity, playfulnessand learning of adults and children alike.By pulling together ideas from different continents and cultures, theNext Generation Forum will act as an inspirational nerve center.The result should be not only be the cross-pollination of ideas, butalso the establishment of a new global agenda for children, with“creativity” as the measuring stick for the next generations.The forum is named: Next Generation Forum, as it will - at all times- have its focus on the next generation
