is a planetary Initiative on the
One Home Journey: 7 Years for 7 Generations,
to showcase the future desired by children
from diverse contexts, across all countries, and continents.
The children’s voices and visions are a profound inspiration
to reimagine our shared future
and a poignant call to action
to transform our divided world and endangered planet
into an inclusive and regenerative Home for all children on Earth.
Can we imagine
what 7 year old children experience today, across all the diverse cultures
on our home planet?
Can we picture the future 7 year old children desire today, in every country on Earth?
Can we visualise 7 year old children’s dreams
for the world
they wish for everyone,
in 7 generations?
What are we willing
to do to fulfill
our children’s dreams,
and create the future
every child
on Earth deserves?
In this planetary initiative, we will witness the dreams of children in every country
on earth, across diverse cultures, and disparate circumstances – whether living
in poverty or plenty, droughts or floods, war or peace.
333 million children in the world are living in extreme poverty. (UNICEF)
468 million children are affected by war and conflict. (Save the Children & PRIO)
1 billion children are at “extremely high risk” from the impacts of climate change.
(UN Children’s Climate Risk Index)
Our children’s dreams are the ultimate call to action for all of us to do everything we can to transform our divided world and endangered planet into an inclusive and peaceful HOME that fulfills the dreams of all children, in every country on Earth – starting now!
Schools and Children's organisations that Nurture Dreams
As we travel country to country and home to home on the One Home Journeyof 7 Years
for 7 Generations, our local partners in each country will identify schools that nurture
their students’ purpose passion and potential, and encourage their students to cultivate
their visions and dreams and become caring and conscious Earth citizens. In each country we will visit such schools and engage creatively with school children, especially 7-year-olds. We will share with them the unfolding story of our collective future-building expedition
to every country on Earth - the One Home Journey of 7 years for 7 Generations.
7-year-old children will be invited to voice their visions for the future and to express
them through drawings and paintings. Children will have utmost liberty to express themselves freely and creatively.
!
CONSENT:
Consent to use the photographs and videos of children is explicitly sought and granted by the authorities
of the participating schools /children's organisations.
We only collaborate with such schools and children's organisations whose teachers and pupils are strongly motivated to participate in this unique planetary initiative, and who feel honoured that their children's dreams and their schools' special pedagogy will be showcased globally.
Reimagining and Reshaping our Future - through the Visions and Voices of 7 Years olds! Annual Digital and Physical Exhibition and Art Book:
Every year as the One Home Journey travels to 25-30 countries across all world regions,
we harvest a cornucopia of messages and images by 7-year-old children spanning every part
of the world: from Africa, Asia and Oceania, the Americas, the Arab World, and Europe.
These are curated into an online and physical art book and shared in digital exhibitions
and onsite exhibitions in different locations.
In this time of unprecedented turmoil and transition, we witness the words and images,
and hear the voices of these 7-year-old children living in such diverse cultures and geographies,
and experiencing different circumstances and contexts, we begin to see the world anew through their eyes.
7-year-old children around the world give us the impetus we need to fulfil their dreams, reimagine our world and re-shape our future.
Inauguration of the One Home Journey at SEKEM - Home for Humanity, Egypt
in partnership with World Future Council
The SEKEM School in Bilbeis, Egypt, rooted in SEKEM's integral human development approach, fosters the social, cultural and educational development of each child.
AFRICA
Childrens’ Dreams for the Future in AFRICA:
Season 1 of the One Home Journey
Mukondomi Primary School, Buhera North, Zimbabwe
We interacted with the children in impoverished and drought-affected rural Buhera Province, which ensures that no child misses school due to financial constraints, and whose teachers celebrate every gift that can nurture their pupils. Dr. Daud Taranhike, founder of Integral Kumusha-Home for Humanity Zimbabwe studied here himself, and Integral Kumusha supports the school.
In South Africa, we interacted with two unique children’s programmes:
Timbuktu in the Valley, Makers Valley, Johannesburg, South Africa
Is a highly original and creative space for children without access to regular schooling to engage in unlearning and explore liberating self-learning.
SAFE STUDY, Makers Valley, Johannesburg, South Africa
Is a delightfully artistic space , created during COVID, where children can be safe after school and explore and nurture
all their creative talents.
Makeneng School, Matsieng, Lesotho
We were amazed by the cultural, artistic, and ecological talents of the students of the tiny but remarkable rural near Matsieng. They are rightly proud of the beautiful clean, green, and inviting school environment they have created together with their dedicated headmistress and head teacher and staged a play on children’s rights for us.
Kisiwandui Pre and Primary School, Stone Town, Zanzibar Tanzania:
Is a huge, inclusive public school that integrates students with disabilities. It exemplifies the Zanzibar government’s commitment to children’s rights under the Children’s Act which won Zanzibar the Gold World Future Policy Award in 2015. To showcase the impact of this Gold Award, as part of our planetary partnership with World Future Council,
the One Home Journey also interacted with the dynamic Minister of Women and Child Welfare, Hon. Reziki Pemba,
was received by the Acting Permanent Secretary of the Ministry, Mr. Mwandini, and visited the One Stop Centre for Child Protection in Stone Town, Zanzibar.
KCC Kigamboni Community Center, in Kigamboni
For more than a decade, KCC implements a wide range of social programs that aim to improve the livelihood of marginalized communities. Through its programs, KCC touches the lives of more than 15,000 children and youth through various community-based initiatives, including the Community Rehabilitation Program for children in conflict with the law, Prevention of Violence Against Children and Adolescents, Talents Development Program, Community Health Program, Culture for Peer Learning Program, an exchange program between children from Tanzania and Germany, and the establishment of children's homes.
New Talent for the Best Future, Nakivale Refugee Settlement, Uganda
What more meaningful and poignant place to tap children's dreams for the future than in this exceptional, heartwarming school for orphaned refugee children. It is created and led by young orphaned refugees barely in their 20s, Roger Kivatse, Muhindo Mutindi and their peers, who transformed their trauma by saving their bits of money to create this heartwarming ‘home away from home’. These committed youth leaders teach, mentor and parent their orphaned children to ensure that they discover their unique gifts and become future builders! We are proud to have honored New Talent for the Best Future with the exemplary Home for Humanity Award.
ARISE Nursery and Primary School, Nakivale Refugee Settlement, Uganda
Arise School aims at providing quality education and life skills for refugee children. It particularly enables non-English speaking refugee children to rapidly master English and valuable life skills to integrate successfully into their host country Uganda's English-medium schools. Almost all the young teachers are themselves successful graduates of ARISE who have now returned to give back to their life-changing school.
Sauti Kuu Foundation, Nairobi, Kenya
Powerful Voices for Future Generations, Siaya, Kenya How greatly we enjoyed the dynamic dreams of the rural children of Siaya who have learned at Sauti Kuu Foundation to become powerful voices for the future.
Established by eminent scholar, Dr. Auma Obama, who is also a Councilor of the World Future Council, our planetary partner organisation, Sauti Kuu has a unique holistic and integral approach.
It not only unleashes the power and potential of children from childhood to adulthood and supports the University studies of the most motivated but also transforms the lives of their families and communities through support in organic agriculture and traditional and Indigenous food systems. For their transformative and integrated impact for present and future generations, we awarded Sauti Kuu Foundation the exemplary Home for Humanity Award.
