Reimagining a new social contract with youths

We live in chal­leng­ing times. If we are to build in­clu­sive so­ci­eties, we have a re­spon­si­bil­i­ty to ad­dress the chal­lenges faced by youths to­day.

On Thurs­day, 15 Oc­to­ber, while I was still in Lon­don, I was asked to com­ment on UK Prime Min­is­ter Andy Burn­ham’s re­marks to youths at the King’s Trust Cen­tre in Man­ches­ter.

The King’s Trust (for­mer­ly the Prince’s Trust) is a UK-based char­i­ty found­ed in 1976 by King Charles III (then Prince of Wales). Since it was es­tab­lished 50 years ago, the King’s Trust has sup­port­ed over 1.3 mil­lion young peo­ple (11-30-year-olds ) “across the UK - and ex­pand­ed glob­al­ly” - help­ing them “build brighter fu­tures, achieve their am­bi­tions and move in­to work.”
