BRONZE

LISSIE MAKIMMAK USUITUAYUK

Story: The New Moon

Lissie is an urban Inuk living in Kjipuktuk (home of the Mi’kmaq), Nova Scotia, and is originally from Salluit, Nunavik (Quebec).

Lissie is active in her local Indigenous community where she learns from Elders about the importance of culture and identity in shaping her future. She spends time in Nunavik twice a year learning more about her Inuit culture and takes part in traditional activities like gathering on the land, sewing, and beading. She then shares her learned knowledge by mentoring local Inuit children who do not have the same access to the North as she does.

Lissie’s favourite subjects in school are Science and English. Lissie uses Two-Eyed Seeing (Etuaptmumk) to view the world as she realizes the importance of both in the modern world. Lissie played soccer on Team Mi’kmaw Nova Scotia at the last North American Indigenous Games in Halifax and was one of the youngest players on the team. She is looking forward to the 2027 games that will take place in Calgary. Lissie is an artist, an actor, and, most recently, a writer. Lissie knows that she is very lucky to live and be welcome in both worlds and that she has a duty to ensure that her Inuit culture continues on for generations to come. Lissie’s story was inspired by the resiliency and bravery of her northern and southern families who have worked together to make sure that she knows who she is and where she has come from. Everyone, including Lissie, is excited to see and celebrate what her future holds.

Announcing the Launch of Futures 2025: A Global Anthology of Young Voices on Sustainability

This collection of award-winning short stories from young authors worldwide sheds light on climate change, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and the transformative power of youth imagination.

The much-anticipated anthology Futures 2025: A Compilation of Short Stories from Young Authors from Around the World is now available, offering a unique and powerful collection of narratives that span continents and cultures. Edited by young sustainability leader, climate activist and scholar Nico Cordonier Gehring, Futures 2025 brings together twenty-eight award-winning short stories written by talented young authors from around the world, each addressing the most pressing issues of our time: climate change, sustainability, and the future of our planet.

From the resourceful adventure of a young girl who generates electricity from trash to the plight of a blue macaw fighting to save the Amazon rainforest, the anthology explores a wide range of perspectives on the global challenges posed by climate change. Through compelling narratives, readers are invited to discover what lurks in whispering forests, what secrets lie hidden in seascapes, and what lessons are waiting to be learned from a constellation of young mathematicians.

This creative and diverse collection is one of the initiatives of the Global Youth Council on Science, Law, and Sustainability (GYC), in partnership with the Voices of Future Generations Children's Initiative (VoFG CI). The Council itself was founded by passionate students, united in their mission to advance environmental education and advocate for the rights of children facing the harsh realities of climate change.

“We started with a small team and a contest, sending a call out to all our networks. We received over 200 hundred entries from more than 60 countries! The selection of the winning stories was made by an international panel of distinguished judges, who were really impressed with the creativity of the stories," shares Nico Roman, the British and Canadian young editor of Futures 2025. “Our book is dedicated to the children who speak up so that the voices of our generation can be heard.”

Through the power of storytelling, the young authors featured in Futures share their hopes for a better world—one where communities unite, where nature is preserved, and where no one is left behind. This anthology uplifts the voices and concerns of children and youth representing diverse regions and communities, revealing the transformative power of their ideals, imagination, and determination.

A key contributor to the selection process, Professor Pamela Towela Sambo, Chair of the UN Human Rights Commission of Zambia, shared her thoughts on the anthology: “Each story reveals the intersection of the SDGs with the rights of children – showing how education, health, gender equality, access to water and energy, and climate action are not unrealistic dreams, but part of an indivisible commitment to human dignity.”

Several of the young writers also served, along with VoFG CI Child Authors and Ambassadors, as instructors in a new online course offered by University of Cambridge colleges and institutes, teaching the key essentials of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, Sustainable Development and the Law. 

Special gratitude was conveyed, during the book’s online launch on the International Day of Education in January 2025, to Rene Steiner from Steinergraphics whose art was deeply appreciated, and to Phoebe McElligott who supported the youth throughout the project, as well as to the panel of distinguished judges.

As the world grapples with pressing global sustainability and justice challenges, Futures serves as a call to action and an inspiration for all of us. It highlights the urgent need to listen to the voices of youth, empowering them to lead the way toward a brighter, more sustainable future for all.

The anthology is available for free as a downloadable PDF. Physical copies can also be purchased on Amazon.

New Book Release – The Brothers' Reunion by Sydnee Wynter Nisyok

We are thrilled to announce the release of The Brothers' Reunion, an inspiring new book written by Indigenous Child Author Sydnee Wynter Nisyok and illustrated by Celia Tian.

The Brothers' Reunion follows the journey of young Jimmy from the Nisga'a Nation as he uncovers his grandfather's painful separation from his brother during the Sixties Scoop. Motivated by a deep sense of family and justice, Jimmy embarks on an adventure with his friends to reunite the brothers. Along the way, they explore important themes of human rights, children's rights, and Indigenous peoples' rights, piecing together the past while strengthening their own community bonds. As Jimmy navigates this journey, he discovers his calling as an advocate for his people.

A Valuable Educational Resource

The Brothers' Reunion, can be an invaluable resource for education on topics regarding human and children's rights.

It provides a narrative that introduces readers to the Sixties Scoop, a historical injustice where Indigenous children were forcibly removed from their families and communities. By presenting this story in an age-appropriate manner, young readers can understand the impact of these actions on families and communities, fostering historical awareness and empathy.

Through the experiences of the characters, key concepts of human rights and children's rights and themes of family, identity, and belonging can be explored, while appreciating the importance of cultural heritage and the role of community in shaping individuals' lives.

The book can be integrated into various subjects, allowing educators and learners to draw connections between historical events and contemporary societal issues.

We invite readers of all ages to dive into The Brothers' Reunion and join Jimmy on his inspiring quest. Together, we can foster understanding and awareness of the historical and ongoing impacts of the Sixties Scoop while celebrating the resilience of Indigenous communities.

““The Brothers’ Reunion is a heartwarming story of enduring love and determination. A clear and thoughtful exploration of the Sixties Scoop and an important addition to Indigenous literature.””
— Eden Robinson, Author, Haisla Nation

Trade and investment flows are often criticised for their sustainability impacts, yet, if harnessed properly through cutting-edge international law and governance, trade can help rather than hinder the global sustainable development goals. In world-class lecture and dialogue now available online which features Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Director General of the World Trade Organization, and Rehema Kibugi, Child Author in the UN Voices of Future Generations Children’s Initiative. This briefing highlights how trade law and policy are evolving to address our world’s challenges, underlining the idea that the WTO can and must be part of an urgent Re-globalisation towards sustainability, building on its poverty-eradication potential and green comparative advantage.

The video link can also be shared widely to inform further discussion on the topic and can be deployed for education and awareness.

During the dialogue, Rehema Kibugi, Child Author in the UN Voices of Future Generations Children’s Initiative, shares her question to the global biennial lecture experts: “Nearly one in five children worldwide live in extreme poverty and many of these children are from developing countries that are heavily dependent on global trade. As we look towards the future, what strategies or policies can be implemented to promote intergenerational equity in world trade? Dr Ngozi, what advice would you have for young women looking to lead, inspire and make a difference?”

The Democratising Education for Global Sustainability and Justice programme supports this mission by providing online courses on sustainable development law and policy and how they can be harnessed to further the SDGs and the Global Biodiversity Framework or linked with Trade Rules.

The Voices of Future Generations (VoFG) Children´s Initiative, in partnership with the Global Youth Council on Science, Law and Sustainability, is seeking stories by youth about the future they want, inspired by the Sustainable Development Goals. 

At this time, young people ages 8-20 and their families or friends, from around the world, are invited to submit short stories (3-5 pages, in English) about fictional characters from their region of the world and any SDGs of interest, along with a 50-word biography, in order to be considered for awards and publication.

The stories should creatively and imaginatively communicate a message about global sustainability, justice and the future we want. Stories with characters and settings that share children's culture and unique environment or local realities will be preferred. Importantly, the stories should be about the kind of future that young people would like to see (this can include, of course, stories about dystopian futures they don’t want, and how to avoid them).

The top stories will be chosen to feature in the Anthology, with the young writers winning Platinum, Gold or Silver Awards for their work.

This book will be published internationally, raising the voices of future generations and spreading our messages for a fair and sustainable tomorrow among peers and global networks, worldwide.

An International Commission of leading experts and agencies, together with youth leaders from around the world including VoFG alumni, will select the winning entries.

VoFG CI receives grant from the Sixties Scoop Healing Foundation to publish new book by an Indigenous Child Author

It is an honour for the Voices of Future Generations Children´s Initiative to be given the opportunity to contribute to the healing journey and reconciliation of Sixties Scoop survivors, their descendants, and families through the Voices of Future Generations Children´s Initiative Project. 

This project, made possible by the Sixties Scoop Healing Foundation, will allow the VoFG CI to publish beautiful and powerful children's stories about the Sixties Scoop, survival, resilience, and healing, and it will provide a platform for children's voices to be heard across Canada and globally.

Through an awareness and engagement process both in schools and through informal cultural and educational networks, stories written by Indigenous Child Authors and Child Ambassadors who are descendants of Sixties Scoop Survivors or their families will be selected, edited, and illustrated. In addition, online and in-person youth and children’s events will be organized to celebrate the published stories and to expand the world´s knowledge and empathy for the experiences of survivors and their descendants, as well as to raise awareness about Indigenous Peoples' rights.

As these children’s voices and stories are recognized and celebrated, Sixties Scoop survivors and their descendants will benefit from increased awareness, understanding, and representation in children´s literature, which has the potential to inspire future generations to lead transformative changes in favor of a more just, equitable, peaceful, and sustainable world for all.

This project will be led by a CISDL Indigenous Leadership Commission of Sixties Scoop Survivors, families and descendants and Indigenous Peoples, providing direction and making decisions. The Indigenous Leadership Commission will guide outreach among Sixties Scoop Survivors and their families, shape events and activities, and ensure all are conducted in a culturally safe and trauma-informed manner. 

The VoFG CI deeply believes in the power of storytelling and children´s voices and eagerly looks forward to empowering Indigenous children to raise their voices, defend their rights, and share their inspiring stories and visions of a better future.

Child Ambassador Nico Roman Raises More than £4,000 for Charities.

In a remarkable feat of determination and environmental commitment, VoFG Child Ambassador Nico Roman Cordonier-Gehring embarked on a 67-kilometer paddling journey from Cambridge to the sea to raise funds for charities dedicated to combating climate change and protecting children´s rights.

“As wildfires, heatwaves and floods worsen, I am desperately concerned about the terrible impacts of climate change on our local fenlands and our natural systems worldwide, and on the most vulnerable people - especially children. Rather than staying sad and angry, though, this summer I decided to kayak from Cambridge where I live to the sea, to raise funds for local and global charities who are trying to protect children’s rights and nature from the impacts of climate change.”
— Nico Roman

The courageous journey began early morning, with Nico pushing off from the Cam. Armed with determination, a strong sense of purpose, and the support of friends and family, he set his sights on completing the two-day 67-kilometre course. The journey was as much a test of his physical endurance as it was a testament to his unwavering commitment to advocating for the rights of nature and children.

Nico was determined not just to complete the journey but also to raise funds for local and global charities. He set up an online fundraiser that garnered an outpouring of support from inspired individuals all over the world, surpassing his initial goal of £2,000 and raising more than £4,000 in donations!

The funds raised during this daring adventure were donated to global charities the Voices for Future Generations Children's Initiative (vofg.org) and the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (iucn.org), and to local charities Wicken Fen (nationaltrust.org.uk) and the Cambridge Botanic Gardens (botanic.cam.ac.uk).

Nico expressed his motivation for undertaking this journey, saying, "I love our natural world. I believe it is important to protect and restore habitat for endangered species (including my two Hermann's Tortoises), and to advance the global Sustainable Development Goals, especially by empowering youth and children. Climate change is getting worse, not better, and we need to do everything we can to support organisations who are helping to make a difference."

After reaching his 67km goal, Nico´s effort did not end there. He decided to create a Fundraising and Awareness Handbook to continue inspiring youth to take action.

“I love our natural world. I believe it is important to protect and restore habitat for endangered species (including my two Hermann’s Tortoises), and to advance the global Sustainable Development Goals, especially by empowering youth and children. Climate change is getting worse, not better, and we need to do everything we can to support organisations who are helping to make a difference.”
— Nico Cordonier-Gehring

As climate change remains a pressing concern for communities worldwide, Nico´s determination is a shining example of how individuals, regardless of their age, can make a profound impact in the fight for a more sustainable future.

Child Authors Engage with Students in the Dominican Republic

As part of their reading and writing class, the 6th grade class at Colegio Triumphare in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, read part of the VOFG book collection. Inspired by the books and the fact that the authors are young people just like them, they wrote their own book about the sustainable development issues that impact their country. They also invited VoFG child authors to connect with them online so they could discuss the books further. 

The Voices of Future Generations child authors Ying-Xuan Lai, Rehema Kibugi, and Saira Thomas appreciated this opportunity to inspire fellow young students and connected with the students over Zoom. They were warmly welcomed by the school community and openly answered many questions. The students were eager to learn more about how Ying-Xuan, Rehema and Saira became young leaders in their communities, and what they want others to get out of their books. They also inquired how knowing that so many people will read their stories made them feel. The event was skillfully moderated and translated into English and Spanish by Elianys Martinez and the students themselves. 

The Voices of Future Generations Children’s Initiative thanks these young leaders for their hospitality and for taking the initiative to organize this exchange. It was inspiring to meet a group of confident, creative, and engaged young students from another part of the world. We wish our new friends in the Dominican Republic the very best of luck and success in all their future initiatives for our planet!

Help Nico to raise £2,000 for local and global charities working to protect children and nature from terrible climate change!

We are raising £2,000 for local and global charities working to protect children and nature from terrible climate change by paddling to the sea this summer!

Hello, my name is Nico. I am fourteen years old, a scholar at Winchester College, and I live in Cambridge, UK. As wildfires, heatwaves and floods worsen, I am desperately concerned about the terrible impacts of climate change on our local fenlands and our natural systems worldwide, and on the most vulnerable people especially children.

Together with my friend Wezi from Zambia, I recently wrote a response to the Call on General Comment 26 for the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, about children's rights and the environment, especially the importance of fighting climate change and protecting nature. We studied the science, also the politics, and became very, very worried. Our future, our very survival, is at stake. Children and nature, who are voiceless and vulnerable, are already suffering. We need all the help we can get, to stop this global nightmare.

Rather than staying sad and angry, though, this summer I am going to kayak from Cambridge where I live to the sea, to raise funds for local and global charities who are trying to protect children's rights and nature from the impacts of climate change. Please sponsor me? :)

All funds raised will go directly to the Voices for Future Generations Children's Initiative, and to local charities working to protect our fenlands and promote education about sustainability solutions.

As a volunteer UN Child Ambassador and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Children's Rights, I have spent years working to help promote sustainability education and the rights of future generations locally and globally. I love nature and animals, and believe it is important to protect and restore habitat for endangered species (including my two Hermann's tortoises), and to advance the global SDGs for kids. To help make this happen, I edit a blog (nicosnaturalworld.org) with hundreds of followers. I also volunteer as co-chair of the Global Youth Council on Science, Law and Sustainability which was founded by young people during the Glasgow Climate Change COP26 and edits an online journal (harmonyyouthvoices.com). As a leader of my primary King's College School Eco-Society, I was also founding co-chair of Cambridge Schools Eco-Council with pupils from many schools in my community. We won the UK Rotary Young Environmentalist Award with my team for our work to protect local fenlands by stopping sources, restoring sinks and mobilising our school and society on climate change. Through speaking out in conferences and events, hosting online Eco-Seminar mini-series about the SDGs, and helping to organise Cambridge’s climate-strikes, I’ve been trying to raise awareness and educate about sustainability locally and globally.

But it's clearly not enough - climate change is getting worse, not better, and we need to do everything we can to support organisations who are helping to make a difference. That's why I'm paddling to the sea this summer, and I hope very much that you could help sponsor my campaign here://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/nico-cordoniergehring

Nico's efforts support our local Wicken Fen wetlands conservation and education efforts (National Trust) and the Cambridge Botanical Gardens locally, as well as the UNESCO Voices of Future Generations Children’s Initiative (with which he’s volunteered for years) and the IUCN International Union for the Conservation of Nature globally.
