We have just held our 2026 Annual General Meeting. Please see the “Minutes” page for further details.
Mr. Lifelong Kindergarden has joined our Advisory Board!
If anyone knows how to foster creativity and learning, especially in informal learning environments, it is
Professor Mitchel Resnick
at the MIT Media Lab, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, in Boston. His insight into the relationship between play and learning is unparalleled.
We also warmly recommend his book, Lifelong Kindergarten: Cultivating Creativity through Projects, Passion, Peers, and Play, which provides an exceptional framework for nurturing creativity through playful, project-based learning.
We are very honored to announce the appointment of
Professor Katherine Richardson,
University of Copenhagen (Globe Institute, Section for Macroecology, Evolution and Climate) to our Advisory Board.
Professor Richardson is a highly recognised and distinguished expert, particularly within the field of planetary health, and brings exceptional expertise and academic leadership. In addition, she is strongly committed to working with young citizens to help shape the solutions of the future.
Young Voices. Real Impact.

Official signing of partnership with UNITAR
A major milestone! November 23, 2024 in Geneva, the UN Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) and United Co-Creation Lab signed an ambitious, highly concrete, and visionary Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). This marks the beginning of a new era where children/youth and world leaders/decision-makers will co-create solutions for the future. Innovation and engagement are reaching new heights. Democracy is being strengthened.
A heartfelt thank you to United Co-Creation Lab's exceptional Youth Advisory Board, the board of directors, the Advisory Board, researchers, and practitioners for already making invaluable contributions. Hard to hide the pride!
