WORKING OUT LOUD

Youth-driven accountability is a powerful idea with potential for profound and transformational impact on existing systems and structures. 

This movement draws on ancient, existing and new wisdom and knowledge. Youth-driven accountability offers opportunity to reimagine the ways systems engage with, support, listen and respond to young people; it involves stretching existing practice while building the conditions for significant change across all levels of society.

Our communities, organisations and institutions will better serve their purpose when young people are acknowledged as true partners in social change, when known obligations to “give due weight” to the views of children and young people in decision-making are understood and embedded, when accountability to young people ensures harm is reduced and promises are kept.

We seek to spark and serve a movement that is an invitation to all young people and adults interested in working this way. We believe that radical transparency and collaboration will enable this practice to develop.

To enable this movement, we commit to learning and working out loud. This means that the content we share will be:

  • Version based: we will share our latest thinking in ‘versions’ that are never finished and guaranteed to shift over time.

  • Emergent: we will do our best to work with complexity, stay open to surprise and to support collective knowledge to develop.

  • Open source: we want people to engage and use our content! We encourage honest adaptation, in ways that are useful, new and ambitious and that raise the standards of ways of working between young people and adults. 

  • Invitational: We invite critique, questioning and open dialogue on all we share, offer and put out into the world.
