The future: what's in it for our kids?

If you’ve got seven and a half minutes to spare, watch this - and if you can get your kids to sit with you then bring them along - this will inspire questions and conversations about the future world of work.

What’s great to see in this is that the soft skills such as creativity, caring and connection top the list as key to enabling fulfilled teams, meaningful work and career prospects, and nurturing future leaders.

Our engagement and activation sessions are community-based, child-led and built on a foundation of creativity and playfulness. What floats your creative boat?

Here’s a summary video that may inspire conversations with our children and young people about what the future holds in terms of work. Creativity, caring and connection sit firmly at the top!

Pass the creativity along!

So, times are challenging right now.

However, that doesn’t mean we can’t keep ourselves moving forward and creating!

It’s a great time to get into those unfinished projects and pick up those arty skills you’ve been meaning to hone. We had a think about ways we could not only keep our creativity going, but how we could keep connected with our participants and other creatives… We thought, what if we could “pass the creativity along”?

Do you recall the Act Belong Commit -supported phenomenon called “Pass the song along”?

Back in 2017 the Spirit of the Streets Choir in Perth came together on World Singing Day to “Pass the song along”. The choir was part of the growing legacy of singing groups and people whose aim it was to pass the song along. And what was the song you ask? A simple and catchy karaoke-style song set up for Act-Belong-Commit through Sing For Health. You can check out the song on YouTube (why not kick it into action for yourself and pass the song along!) …even in Mandarin!

So, in these times of social distancing and self-isolation, we need not hide ourselves under the covers! Why not take up the idea of passing the song along and join us to “pass the creativity along”?
