The Next Generation programme is part of the British Council’s commitment to exploring youth voice and choice. The global research programme is initiated in countries that are experiencing a period of significant change, with the purpose of ensuring that young people’s voices are heard and their interests properly represented in decisions and policies affecting their lives.

The research projects aim to examine young people’s views on education, employment, lifestyle, their degree of international engagement and their opinions on the wider world. The research provides an insight on youth attitudes and aspirations to better influence policies targeted at youth populations.
