"We must connect the two generations - we are more powerful together. I feel more trusting of the older generation! "
Shaping futures with wisdom and compassion
Crazy Beautiful World is dedicated to building a more compassionate and wise world through fostering meaningful connection across perceived differences.
It all started with a conversation between a mother and son, about young people’s need to connect with adults who care about their future.
How does it feel to grow up in the 21st Century?
The poem for this video was written by our 16-year old Co-Founder Awen in 2021.
let's be honest about
the crazy
We believe it’s time for adults to admit that the world they are handing down to the next generation has been degraded and endangered by ways of living which no longer serve us.
Once we stop pretending everything is under control we can start getting creative about how to shape the future our young people deserve.
let's pay attention to
the beautiful
There is so much beauty in this world – often hiding in plain sight – but with all the noise, distraction and bad news cycles it can sometimes be hard to see.
We are on a mission to draw attention to people who are making the world a better place and protecting the future for the next generation.
Let's shape the future with
WISDOM &
COMPASSION
At a time of increasing social division we need – more than ever – to find ways to develop our collective wisdom and compassion.
We need to stay connected and become each other’s signposts for the world we want to protect and rebuild.
let us hear
your insights
We need new ways of approaching the challenges we face. It’s time to listen to the wisdom of young people, as well as their concerns and hopes for the future.
If you are 13-19 this conversation starts with you – your questions and ideas, and the topics that matter to you.
join our
crazy beautiful conversations
Want to know what might happen when we really start listening to each other’s stories? What we might discover when we let go of our preconceived ideas of how the world works and find solutions together?
Our Crazy Beautiful Conversations workshop brings together people of all ages to learn how to reach across barriers to create the connections we need to navigate the future.
