Our voice is our future

Take part, make your voice heard

Positive narratives can help drive meaningful change. On this page you will learn how to take part in the Our Voice, Our Future campaign so your voice can be heard and amplified at the UN Summit of the Future.

The Our Voice, Our Future campaign is based on the belief that positive stories hold transformative powers. Stories help us to connect, learn and grow. Join us in telling the story of a better future. Share your story and your aspirations to unlock the future.

Global cooperation is crucial for our survival.

The UN Summit of the Future in New York 22-23 September is a unique opportunity to build trust and show that international cooperation works. #OurVoiceOurFuture is a platform for the generation of the future to set and share their vision of tomorrow.

Participate in Our Voice, Our Future

Join the #OurVoiceOurFuture Challenge

Reflect on your childhood and a value that shaped who you are today.

The challenge is designed to highlight a key value you acquired in your early years and shaped who you are today.  The values we learn as children do more than just guide us through our early years—they have the potential to shape the future for ourselves and for humanity.

Here's how to participate:

1. Think: Pick one important value you learned as a kid.

2. Explain: How has it shaped who you are today? Why do you think it could create a future better for all?

3. Share: Post a childhood photo that resonates with this value.

4. Challenge: Tag three friends to join and share their cherished values.

5. USE hashtag #OurVoiceOurFuture 

Share the value you bring to the world for a better future.
