HOW IT STARTED
- The Future’s commission extends the work of the previous Youth Commission (2016 – 2025) and builds on its projects and expertises with the acknowledgement that the organisation and the Commission’s purpose and outlook are in transformation processes. Therefore, the Commission aims to support this forward-looking, sustainable development of the organization, provides a forum for future-oriented topics, and offers answers to questions and guidance for new members.
OUR VISION FOR THE COMMISSION
- For true representation and inclusion of future generations, the commission believes that UNIMA needs to unite all generations to find solutions as it begins a process to transform itself.
- The commission will seek to explore outreach options and inclusive pathways into UNIMA internationale
- It will seek to highlight and facilitate events for professional learning and sharing professional practice
- It will investigate the UNESCO Sustainability Goals and work towards systems and strategies for integration within the newly revised UNIMA structure
- It will seek to link UNIMA International to its global membership by extending on initiatives started by the Youth Commission such as ‘How To UNIMA’
- It will seek to invite any member of UNIMA interested to participate in developing future pathways and future proofing for the organisation
- To be a think-tank, a place to question the organisation and a place to share innovative ideas.
OUR PROJECTS: HOW ITS GOING
- As a new commission we are gathering members, seeking skill sets, interests, wants and wishes for agenda in 2026 – 2029
- We are developing a monthly calendar of events for 2026
