Former Prime Minister Gordon Brown, a recognised champion of youth opportunity shares his perspective on helping young people prepare for the future and how we can all play a part to unlock the potential of our young people in the coming years. We also heard from a cross-sector, multi-generational panel featuring voices from education, business and the youth sector. We explored some of the big questions around support for this generation in a post Covid world.
The challenges faced by young people at the moment are great. But so too is their initiative and creativity to over overcome them. We call this an enterprising mindset.
That’s why we wanted to begin a conversation. Bringing educators, employers, charities, entrepreneurs and future leaders together in a bid to understand what this mindset looks like, how we can work together to nurture it and support young people to build their futures in this current and future environment.

“Everybody has a talent, everybody has potential, everybody is unique, and everybody’s got something special to offer – it’s our job to help people bridge the gap between what they are and what they have in themselves to become.”
– Gordon Brown, United Nations Special Envoy for Global Education & Former Prime Minister
What can we do to nurture the enterprising mindset that already exists in many young people?
This is the question Oli Barrett put to our panel of entrepreneurs, educators, charities, business leaders, employers and future leaders, as we explored an alternative narrative for a generation, all too often referred to as “lost.”
Enterprising Mindsets has provided a powerful start to the conversation. With our brilliant speakers and some 350 virtual attendees, it generated ideas, inspiration and motivation for the future of young people.
