Problem Statement: Australian youth need their voice heard by government and industry in order to action a youth-drive recovery to the pandemic. 

Target Group: Australian youth and their allies, government, industry

 

Proposed Solution: The Foundations for Tomorrow (FFT) project aims to drive a high-scale dialogue between Australian youth and influential leaders across government, business, and other key sectors/stakeholder groups to co-design what the future of Australia should look like. 

 

This project is cross-hub collaboration between Australian hubs being led by the Sydney hub – see their project page here: https://toplink.weforum.org/initiatives/explore/a0s680000004EufAAE

 

Hub Activities: The Sydney hub is contributing to the FFT cross-hub collaboration by:

1. As the founding hub of this project we are coordinating the project nationally with the seven other participating hubs

2. Hosting a dialogue on the topic of Net Zero and Responsible Business

3. Supporting the campaign - one of our hub members leads the coordination of the campaign team, while two other hub members are contributing their skills of graph design and copy writing to make artifacts for the online campaign that will run for one month

4. Building partnerships – one of our hub members leads the coordination of the partnerships team, while two other hub members are helping to secure partnerships that engage organisations that have a large youth base to hold dialogues and pledge survey submissions

5. Writing the Uniquely Australian Report on how to build back better – lastly, one hub member is using their experience in government and policy to support drawing out insights from the dialogue and writing them into an engaging report

6. One hub member is part of the national advisory committee providing strategic input and feedback 

 

Goals: 

- Support our participating hub members to be active contributors the national project team

- We hope to partner with at least 3 organisations in our dialogue and are aiming to engage 100 participants to join the event and submit a survey response
