Welcome to the Youth Future Project!

Find out more about the 2010 youth conference in Bonn, our partners, and stay up to date with our latest projects.

On occasion of the 30th anniversary of the Right Livelihood Awards, also known as “Alternative Nobel Prize”, all past Award Laureates, as well as a group of outstanding scientists, activists, and opinion leaders will be invited to Bonn, Germany, from September 14th to 19th, 2010.

The award recipients will discuss major global issues with experts from the region and the wider German public:

What could a sustainable and socially fair future for all people on the planet look like?
What are current global trends and which risks will we be facing? What kind of alternative models exist, providing sustainable solutions beyond short term mitigation.

To implement some of the laureate’s solutions in a sustainable way, young people's involvement is vital to our progress.
All over the world, young people will be the pioneers and decision makers of tomorrow. They are eager to learn about what kind of new approaches to economics, ecology, education, and consumer behavior can be realized.

For this reason, a conference for students between 18 and 26 will take place in close cooperation with the Right Livelihood Award conference.

During the conference about 120 young people will have the opportunity to enter into a dialogue with Award recipients, meet them in person, and participate in lectures, panel discussions, workshops, and activities promoting inspiring projects. Events involving our partner NGOs and youth initiatives will complement the program.
