THINK NOW Foundation

Empowering young generations to co-create resilient, sustainable and future-proof cities

THINK NOW Foundation is a social impact movement that brings together young people, educational institutions, governments, businesses, and civil society organizations to develop solutions for the major challenges of our time.

We believe that the generation that will experience the consequences of climate change, biodiversity loss, housing shortages, and social inequality most profoundly should have an active voice in shaping and deciding the future of the environments in which we live.

Through youth think tanks, impact programs, educational innovation, film, events, and participatory design processes, we create meaningful encounters between young people and professionals from fields including architecture, urban planning, mobility, energy, food systems, water management, and biodiversity.

As part of Rotterdam Architecture Month, we contribute to conversations on:

• Future-proof cities
• Climate adaptation and water resilience
• Healthy and inclusive neighbourhoods
• Circularity and regenerative design
• Youth participation and democratic renewal
• The relationship between people, nature, and the built environment

THINK NOW collaborates with schools, municipalities, knowledge institutions, businesses, and societal partners to develop tangible future scenarios for cities and regions across the Netherlands.

We are helping to build a generation that does not wait for change to happen, but actively shapes it.
