The young people decide.

A youth editorial board of 4 people, aged 12–16, chooses what gets asked, who gets asked, and what to say in response. Then 3 young interviewers lead the conversations on camera.

The Principle of Independence
The board's independence will be preserved.
01
Before the episode

Together with our local partners we survey local youth: how they actually use AI, what they need from it, and what they'd want to ask the people building it.

02
The board decides

The youth editorial board analyses the responses, then together with our local partners, chooses and invites the guest and prepares the questions, grounded in what young people said.

03
The conversation

Young interviewers lead the on-camera exchange, putting those questions to the guest and carrying kids' voices into the room.

04
After the episode

The board records its reflections, published permanently alongside each episode.

Three deliverables. One global picture.

01 · Manifesto · × 10 countries
A Youth Manifesto for policymakers

Produced locally in each country, in each local language. A youth-led manifesto for local regulators and policymakers — in the voices of young people themselves: how they use AI today, how they want to use it tomorrow, their hopes and their worries.

02 · Teacher Toolkit · × 10 countries
AI literacy in the classroom

Produced locally in each country, in each local language. A practical AI literacy lesson plan built from local youth voices, with excerpts from the episode to watch and discuss in class.

03 · Global Paper · × 1 globally
What AI labs need to hear

Produced once, globally. A single paper for AI labs representing youth voices across all 10 countries: how young people use AI, and what labs should do to make their tools safer and more ethical.

Let's connect & make it happen.

We're looking for local partners and funders in each of the 10 countries — organisations who believe young people deserve a seat at the table when the future of AI is being shaped.
