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?

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.

"We must connect the two generations - we are more powerful together. I feel more trusting of the older generation! "
