Styrkelse af unge i urolige tider

This guide offers advice and approaches for those working alongside young people

across the global Transition Movement and beyond who are taking up the challenge

of re-imagining and re-building our world.

There is not one recipe for this work, and certainly not one outcome. But all of

the approaches in this guide challenge everyone involved in these learning journeys

to ask more and better questions, and be part of building connections and commu-

nity across difference.

The challenges our societies and their young people face are numerous and varied;

from rising seas and food prices, to precarious work and loss of traditional cultures.

So, although it is in human nature to think that now is the critical moment, with cli-

mate breakdown happening around us I believe my generation has really inherited

a unique challenge. We don’t have the luxury of waiting until we’re older and

more experienced to make change happen, which makes the support of peers

and elders all the more vital.

Carving out the spaces where young people can ask questions about the future is

crucial work, and this guide offers many ways to do this. Young people’s futures, the

futures of our communities, and the future of our shared planet rely on us asking

‘what if?’ questions, and having the curiosity and determination to answer

them together.

I feel huge gratitude to those doing this vital work alongside young people, both in

this guide and far beyond. So, take the ideas in this guide that speak to you, share

them, play with them, talk about them, and experiment with them.

Future generations will thank you for it.
