This exercise, an essential part of the workshop, helped participants remove the perceived barriers of age, gender, experiences, and affiliations. Having picked the objects of their liking, the participating youth were asked to share their overall sentiments about how optimistic or pessimistic they feel about the future and whether they feel empowered to impact their own and the world\u2019s future.<\/p><p>After discussing the state of the world today and the youth\u2019s agency, the participants were engaged to co-create future cities they would like to live in. The young changemakers moved to breakout groups to co-design a city of the future, plan an excursion around its imaginary neighborhoods, come up with a story of conflict situation and a resolution (in good old theatre tradition!) and present their work in a quorum.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-b8c2230 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default exad-glass-effect-no exad-sticky-section-no\" data-id=\"b8c2230\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-a1c262e exad-glass-effect-no exad-sticky-section-no\" data-id=\"a1c262e\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-3c0055f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default exad-glass-effect-no exad-sticky-section-no\" data-id=\"3c0055f\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-0dcabf2 exad-glass-effect-no exad-sticky-section-no\" data-id=\"0dcabf2\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a15eb57 exad-sticky-section-no exad-glass-effect-no elementor-widget elementor-widget-testimonial\" data-id=\"a15eb57\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"testimonial.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial-content\">The workshop was very fruitful and I just loved it.

This approach empowers both the United Nations and youth, enabling them to analyze trends, identify opportunities, and envision future scenarios. Youth Foresight bridges generational gaps, fostering dialogue and co-creation. Simultaneously, intergenerational equity, a UN cornerstone, aligns seamlessly with Youth Foresight&#8217;s principles, emphasizing our moral obligation to future generations. However, there&#8217;s concern about slow progress, calling for revitalized intergenerational solidarity, particularly in areas such as environmental protection. The UN plays a crucial role in advancing this cause, promoting a more inclusive, resilient, and sustainable world.<br><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-c7f1435 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default exad-glass-effect-no exad-sticky-section-no\" data-id=\"c7f1435\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-9450012 exad-glass-effect-no exad-sticky-section-no\" data-id=\"9450012\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c670a9c exad-sticky-section-no exad-glass-effect-no elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"c670a9c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"627\" src=\"https:\/\/www.unhabitatyouth.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-02-06-at-3.58.34-PM-1024x627.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-9381\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.unhabitatyouth.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-02-06-at-3.58.34-PM-1024x627.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.unhabitatyouth.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-02-06-at-3.58.34-PM-300x184.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.unhabitatyouth.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-02-06-at-3.58.34-PM-768x470.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.unhabitatyouth.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-02-06-at-3.58.34-PM.jpeg 1307w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Near-term thinking is making the problems we face today more intractable, divisive &#038; dangerous.
