So much good stuff in this report from Lee Bryant on the Skoll World Forum for Social Entrepreneurship. But one passage in particular excited me:
How do we get empowered adults if we treat young people as powerless subjects? We need a civil rights movement for children. Young people want to be effective in society, and they can be the most powerful force for implementing change if we let them get involved and help solve their own problems. This can also have spin off benefits in education and performance.
