In the summer of 2017, The Rockefeller Foundation Bellagio Center brought together a group of residents around the theme of “Youth as Agents of Transformative Change.” Participants hailed from eight different countries, representing academia, the private sector, civil society, activist organizations, and the arts including novelists, composers, and musicians. And while the focus of the residency was on the subject of youth, the residents themselves ranged in age from those in their 20s to those in their 70s—with every decade in between represented. Over the course of two and half weeks, residents engaged in a unique intergenerational discussion about what motivates and inspires youth, the challenges they face, and how people of all ages can collectively enable transformational change. This video highlights insights from the residency discussion about how change involves everyone and to do it well, all generations—including youth—need a seat at the table. Young people are open to change and innovation, but when the systems and structures that they interact with aren’t set up to channel or capitalize on that, there’s a risk that society at large might miss out on what youth bring to the table. The Bellagio Center discussion highlighted that solving this problem is not about figuring out a better system to impose upon young people, but rather reshaping systems like education and politics together with youth—so that youth have a voice when it comes to decisions impacting their lives.
