Philip Collins, editor of Prospect, said:
“Every week Britain argues about why young people are anxious, angry, broke, lonely, or switching off from politics altogether. The Next Gen Series is about putting the people inheriting the country in the same room as the people running it and asking how Britain can become a country that gives the next generation agency, hope and reasons for optimism.”
Wendy Miller, Co-Managing Director at Prospect, said:
“The Next Gen Series creates a serious platform for organisations that want to engage with the issues shaping Britain’s future workforce, consumers and citizens. It is an opportunity to be part of high-level, solutions-focused conversations alongside policymakers, industry leaders and emerging voices from across the country.”
The series will run throughout 2026, with coverage published across Prospect’s print and digital platforms.
