Gen Z is our most incredible generation yet, with tenacity, creativity, and the potential to change the world. And yet too often our young people are talked about as the challenge or the burden is placed on them to adapt to antiquated structures. What do we need to understand about who this next generation of young people are, and how to cultivate systems that will meet them at their full potential?
Join World Savvy and youth from across our region for an intergenerational conversation led by Mark Perna, author and generation thought leader, on what makes this generation of young people so unique and how to tap into their intelligence and potential as we face a complex future together.
