Roots Futures Youth Conferences
Spaces for young people to question, imagine and shape what comes next
Designed for 13-16 year-olds, Roots Youth Conferences are spaces where you can slow things down, think about the world around you, your place in it, and talk about what matters to your generation.
Why come to a Roots Youth Conference?
Get time to actually think
Not to be told what to believe – but to ask questions, challenge ideas and figure out what you think.
Your experiences matter
Where you’re from, what you’ve seen, what you care about – it all counts. There’s no “right background” here.
Meet people you wouldn’t usually meet
Different places, different stories, different views – and space to talk about them properly.
How it works
You’ll be part of conversations, activities and group sessions that help you explore ideas, hear different perspectives and think more deeply about the world around you.
Most Roots Youth Conferences run over three days, so there’s time to settle in, build trust and let conversations develop.
Conferences are free to attend and include meals, snacks and local travel reimbursement We just need permission from your parent / guardian for you to take part.
