Peace is possible around the world and children are the answer
Quincy Jones
The smallest hands hold the key to the world’s future
Uri Savir
Eighteen years after Quincy Jones initiated the world famous “We are the World” campaign, the Glocal Forum, in strategic partnership with the World Bank and the Quincy Jones Listen Up Foundation, launches a new campaign called “We are the Future” designed to secure a better future for children in conflict areas around the world.
The objective of the We are the Future (WAF) program is to set up child centers for children living in conflict areas and across the developing world, while building global city-to-city networks to support these centers. The We are the Future Child Centers will provide opportunities and services for children in the areas of education, health, nutrition, ICT, sports and the arts.
Six pilot WAF Centers are being established in:
• Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
• Asmara, Eritrea
• Freetown, Sierra Leone
• Kabul, Afghanistan
• Kigali, Rwanda
• Nablus, Palestine
Objectives:
With a sound model in these 6 locations, the program can grow with the creation of new centers in emerging cities throughout the world. The WAF centers will be run by the municipality and the local youth represented by the Glocal Youth Parliament delegates and a Youth Peace Corps.
