OUR GLOBAL STUDY

We Are Family Foundation’s groundbreaking Global Study, Collaborating Across Generations: Insights, Challenges and Best Practices, was conducted in late 2023 to better understand perspectives on youth participation at key decision making tables where decisions are made that affect our lives and our planet.

Pioneered in partnership with The Possibilists and the Vienna University of Economics and Business, this novel research dives deep into perspectives on youth participation. Our goal is to identify global recommendations and collaborative frameworks for generations to come.

What does collaborating across generations look like in action?

Youth involvement in legislation and policy-making.

Inclusion of underrepresented age groups in decision-making bodies.

Mutual mentorship and consultation across generations, across sectors.
