Raise Your Eyes

A generational transition requires a revolutionary return to basics. Ideas on listening, learning, and guiding the next generation.

In this contemplative and thought-provoking essay, Susanna Tamaro reflects on one of the most pressing challenges of our time: How can we equip future generations with the tools they need to navigate an increasingly complex world?

As young people take to the streets to defend their rights and fight for a better future, what are they truly asking of us? How can we bridge the growing divide between generations, fostering meaningful dialogue and guiding them toward the right questions—those that lead to real answers? In a society where rigor, commitment, and ethics are often dismissed as outdated, younger generations stand at the forefront, reminding us that hope is not yet lost. With wisdom and urgency, Tamaro calls for renewed responsibility, deeper understanding, and a return to the values that can shape a better tomorrow.
