Promoting the well-being of all youth today can lead to productive, successful, and healthy adults and the health of society tomorrow. But promoting the well-being of all youth is not simple: It requires a multifaceted set of pathways and strategies that are still being defined in the research literature. In particular, the literature on how arts engagement promotes child and youth well-being remains fragmented across many disciplinary areas and multidisciplinary fields. More-efficient and more-frequent synthesis of the literature is needed to illuminate these pathways and strategies across disciplinary areas and multidisciplinary fields to understand and support youth well-being
IP-YES! – WIPO’s Intellectual Property Youth Empowerment Strategy — arrives at a time when there are more young people on the planet than ever before. Over 1.9 billion people are between the ages of 10 and 24, with close to 90 percent residing in developing countries, where they often represent the largest share of the population. Opening up the world of IP for youth will deliver significant benefits for us all. Not only are youth the future of innovation and creativity, but empowering them to bring their ideas to the world through the power of IP can transform lives, drive positive economic and social change, and help us build a better world.
Educators face a wide array of challenges, with an even wider selection of ways to solve these problems. However, the only true path to growth in education is the recognition and application of timeless, universal principles. In today’s world, we are inundated with information about who to be, what to do, and how to live. But what if there were a way to learn not just what to think about, but how to think—a process that taught how to manage priorities, focus on goals, and be a positive influence?
