Next Generation research series

Next Generation: a global British Council research series focusing on young people. We believe it is important to listen to and engage with young people, as they will become the next generation of influencers, leaders and shapers of their countries. Yet, we recognise that they are not just the future – they are the present, and they have the capacity to create, contribute and make a difference today.
