In this episode, Shai Naides, UNICEF’s Chief of Youth Engagement and Strategy, joins us to explore why institutions still struggle with genuine youth representation and influence, and how foresight can help shift that reality. We talk about the origins of the Youth Foresight Fellowship, what changes when young people are invited to imagine futures, and the surprising insights that emerged from UNICEF’s work across 40 countries.

Shai also reflects on the toughest principles for institutions to uphold, moments where youth reframed the conversation for adults, and what he’s learned while scaling a global foresight initiative.
