Fetzer Senior Program News Today

“What I love about this research is that it is framing up outcomes that are relevant to kids now. Usually, it’s what are the outcomes to be successful down the road as opposed to what is meaningful to kids right now, no matter how old they are,” says Education Reimagined President and Founder Kelly Young reflecting on the recent UNICEF report, “What Makes Me? Core Capacities for Living and Learning.” 

The Fetzer Institute has long held an interest in the lived experience of democracy. So rather than focusing on issues, challenges, or policy, our work in this area addresses questions like How are we expanding the idea of “we” the people? What does it mean to build mutual respect and relationships across difference? How can we get better at sharing power?
