Pillar 01 · Global Perspectives

The Listening Project

What do young people want policymakers, educators, and community leaders to understand? We document perspectives from around the world so that civic decisions are made with, not about, young people.

Field Method

Student Interviews

Long-form conversations with students from diverse schools, regions, and civic contexts. Interviews capture lived experience of policy — not opinions filtered through adults.

Geography

Country Spotlights

Profiles of youth civic conditions across countries: how schools are governed, how local councils engage young people, and which institutions invite participation.

Synthesis

Dialogue Summaries

Cross-cutting summaries from listening sessions, identifying shared concerns, divergences, and the questions young people are most often asked to answer for adults.

Publication

Global Youth Reports

Annual reports translating thousands of perspectives into actionable signal for policymakers, school leaders, and community organizations.
