We Are Futures

What better way to recognise International Youth Day than to celebrate the winners of the Samsung Electronics UK: Solve for Tomorrow Next Gen competition.🎉 This year, we saw an incredible response with 1,153 entries from young innovators across the UK & Ireland, all focused on harnessing technology for good to address the theme of Inclusion. 🌍 Now in its fourth year, the programme has engaged over 124,000 11-15- year-olds and reached 31% of secondary schools across the region, inspiring creativity and empathy in the next generation. Here’s what some of the students had to say:  💬“Next Gen has shown me loads of opportunities for my future ahead.” 💬The best thing about Solve for tomorrow Next Gen was “making up our own ideas that might change the world.” A huge congratulations to all of the winners and a big well done to our wonderful clients at Samsung: Jessie Soohyun Park , Annalyz Fraser (Siliezar) & Sophie Moss; and the team at We Are Futures: Kamahl Hoque, Rosie Huggon, Louise Glenn, Caitlin P., Elaine Lalchand, Jessie L., Eve Hodgson & Clément Brunson.  #SolveForTomorrow #SFT_UK_2024 #Enabling_People #InternationalYouthDay

Welcome to the team Kat Sommers 😊 Kat started her career as a content producer at the BBC, before going freelance to write copy for clients such as Bulb, Google, and Sky. She's joining us as a Senior Copywriter, working across projects for EE, NatWest, Scottish Water and others.   "I'm looking forward to getting stuck in at We Are Futures, and writing the kind of copy that makes people stop scrolling and take notice. The key to good copywriting is knowing your audience inside out, so I'm excited to work for an agency so dedicated to young people and their wellbeing."   When Kat's not wrangling words for us, you'll find her writing scripts, at the cinema, and neglecting the plants on her balcony.

The UK's investment in the cultural sector is now among the lowest in Europe, resulting in a significant decline in arts participation in our schools. We’re excited to share insights from our Senior Account Executive, Hannah Chestnutt about why it’s vital that we continue to advocate for increased support and investment in the arts and how Sky Arts is tackling the issue head on.

Happy 10th (week-old) anniversary to our Run Club 🏃♀️ 🎉

We are firm believers in helping young people to bridge the gap between education and work! Which is why this year our Opportunity team supported Better Bankside with their Bankside Futures summer programme. The programme supports 16–18-year-olds living or studying in Southwark to get ready for the world of work by meeting a range of employers. Our team had a fantastic time at the careers speed networking event and the mini-mock interviews. It was a pleasure to support and meet such enthusiastic, motivated and curious young people. A huge thank you to everyone from We Are Futures who got involved (Faye Pooley, James Rimmer, Anabel Lee - Wragg, Eve Hodgson and Emily Terry) as well as to Rachel Nicholson from Better Bankside and Ann Chung from Sculpt for organising such a fantastic programme. Bring on next year! #careeropportunities #nextgeneration #unlockingpotential #ukedchat #skillsdevelopment #careers
