"We believe that young people are some of the most creative, talented and innately intelligent humans. Society needs their creativity and more than ever right now to engage and become a part of a global network to tackle the greatest challenges of our times.

​

The pandemic has created a greater sense of urgency and clarity around these issues on health, environment and sustainability, and most importantly education. As Covid-19 took hold, a group of educators, entrepreneurs, parents and design thinkers globally came together and launched an experimental quest with children from across the world, to brainstorm how to tackle the virus. The outcomes from this experiment went viral.

 

This left us in no doubt that every young person can benefit from an ecosystem that makes this engagement and innovation happen, with some expert guidance."

That is Lumi!
