Shaping the Future: A Participatory Workshop for Youth Movements

The Future Generations Tribunal is on a mission to build a global institution by youth, for youth. We’re all about supporting movements like yours, especially those fighting for justice, dignity, and survival on the frontlines of the climate crisis. But we don’t want to decide how we do that on our own—we want to hear from you.

As we’re building this institution, we need your input. How can we support youth-led movements around the world in the best way possible? How can we make sure the Tribunal works to strengthen what you’re already doing on the ground?

We know we can’t provide all the answers or be a fix-all solution, but we want to talk about how to use the Tribunal’s resources to make real changes where they’re needed most. We want to make sure our work empowers local, youth-led efforts in the fight for a more just world.

Topics for Discussion:

Visibility: How could a global platform help document and expose the harms your community is suffering, as well as its resistance and adaptability in the face of injustice?

Security: How could a global platform be set up to support the safety of movements exposed to violent repression by states, corporate entities, and other threats?

Credibility: How could your work benefit from institutional and academic credibility in documenting the issues you are addressing?

Alliance-building: What kind of spaces would be helpful to foster internationalist alliances between youth movements, both within your region and on a global level, for example, to address harms caused to your community by foreign corporations?
