We are delighted to share that Teach the Future has been selected as one of the 2025 recipients of the YouthMADE Festival Amplify Grant, awarded by Digital Promise and sponsored by Ciena.
Our winning project, "Dear Teachers, Can We Talk About the Future?", is a youth-led campaign developed by members of our Young Voices Council, ages 12 to 18. The initiative connects students, educators, and schools around the world with futures literacy education. Together, we are co-creating one of the first classroom-ready futures literacy curricula in collaboration with Dr. Peter Bishop.

This $500 grant will help us expand our campaign's reach and impact, enabling our youth-led team to amplify their message, share resources more broadly, and continue building momentum for futures thinking in education.

Being recognized among a group of outstanding youth-driven projects from across the globe is an honor, and we’re excited to keep the momentum going.
Thank you to Digital Promise for this opportunity and for elevating youth-led innovation worldwide.
