“NEXTGENDA: HOW CAN WE, THE CURRENT GENERATIONS, SHAPE THE FUTURE FOR THE UNBORN GENERATIONS OF TOMORROW”.
Welcome to YoungMinds.Amsterdam.
More than ten years ago Jonge Geesten was registered together with the name Young Minds. We are now going to use this as our international name.
GENERATIONAL ANTHROPOLOGISTS
In our research, sessions and trajectories, we combine our knowledge of social and cultural anthropology with generation expertise. We want to encourage the sharing of knowledge and expertise between the generations of today with the focus on the issues that will arise in the future. Therefore, anthropologist and art historian Emma Atkin-Brenninkmeyer, Imagineer Daan Jansen and generation and transition expert Maurice van Rooijen created a new field of work that we at YoungMinds.Amsterdam call "Generational Anthropology". Although these aren’t all new methodologies, the ways in which they complement each other is original.
We believe that generations are about connections and contrasts, and often conflicts too, in a perspective of time. The meaning of generations, intergenerational within families or throughout history, is more common than observing as or multi-generational acting on behalf of Future Generations. At Young Minds we see a focus on reciprocity and process in social structure as a powerful analytical tool. With Generational Anthropology we aim to build resilience in order to move forward in the future with greater confidence. For this it is important to become aware that traditional views on the economy, society and relationship with the environment have changed. With this we build on innovative capacity for current and future generations.
