"If there is any responsibility in the cycle of life it must be that one generation owes to the next that strength by which it can come to face ultimate concerns in its own way." --Erik Homburger Erikson
The Vibrancy of Generation Next
The BBC's Generation Next season on World Service radio is a week of special programming dedicated to understanding and exploring the world of the under 18s -- the next generation. From an Antarctican's concerns for the seventh continent, to a Lebanese teenager's campaign to clean up an oil-slicked beach, from Indian pupils' initiative to green the country's most polluted city, to a poll on how under-18s approach modern life, this set of articles and special reports lends insight into the vibrancy of our world's youth.
BE THE CHANGE
Do an exploration of your own: if you're over 18, have a conversation about facing ultimate concerns with someone in Generation Next; if you're under 18, engage in dialogue that helps a trusted adult understand youth better.
