The Economist Educational Foundation is a charity that was set up by The Economist in 2012. It enables young people to be involved in decisions affecting their lives by helping them develop thoughtful voices on social, political and economic issues.
We work with ten year olds and upwards in the UK who might otherwise feel forced to stand on the edge of important conversations. Using The Economist’s journalistic expertise, we provide these young people with inspiring opportunities to learn about current affairs and develop the skills to engage with them in an open-minded and constructive way.
