A week like no other. This past week I was lucky to be part of Alpine Run Project at the world’s largest trail running race in the Alps. After six months of training we took 20 young people from inner cities across the UK to compete in the biggest race of their lives. Check out this video which captures their reactions as they cross the finishing line UTMB® in Chamonix. The world of trail running is relatively new to me. It tests the human body and psyche in unimaginable ways and it is special to see the sense of accomplishment and community it can provide young people. Unfortunately it is still the domain of the privileged few and more needs to be done to make it accessible, aspirational and relatable for a younger and more diverse community. Actions speak louder than words and and the end of the week we produced an innovative event, with partners Strava, Nike & JD Sports Fashion, welcoming over 200 guests to explore how we can inspire the new generation of trail runners. Produced by our Youth Beyond Borders (YBB)team, it transcended traditional event approaches in this space through enabling inter-generational connection and understanding. Whether it be participating in a Treadmill Challenge with someone born in a different decade to you to speed networking around the topic of how to reduce barriers for young people to run in nature, the event was youth centred and created a template for how we can centre the voices and lived experience of young people to change the face of the sport. We all agree that there is much more to do - faster and further together. So let's get to work!

#FromTheStreetsToThePeaks! Alpine Run Project has touched down at UTMB® with 20 new young athletes. Giving inner city youth the chance to experience trail running and nature. Follow their journey via our IG channel here: https://lnkd.in/ejdfy3Fc

What does the future of work look like for creatives? 🤔 I often feel as though I have two lives that are divided by age - one which is spent at work with those under 26 years old & then my personal life which sees me spending time with Millenials & beyond! Through this there are clear fault lines that shape our expectations around what we want and expect from the work place. We all know that being office-based and doing a 9-5 job is coming under increased scrutiny but how can we embrace these changing cultural trends to create truly inclusive workplaces that supports and retains the next generation of creatives? Join us, in the formation of a new Youth Beyond Borders (YBB) & EssenceMediacom report that looks into this... Are you a Gen-Z or Millennial professional in the creative industries? Whether you’re in an agency, a brand, or freelancing, your input is invaluable. Complete our survey that explores insights on workplace habits, attitudes towards working culture and the future of our industry, and you could win a voucher worth £150!
