“We
wake up every morning with a hunger for a better society, future and community.
Not just for us, but for everyone. Our hunger is rooted in what other
generations perceive as our downfall - we’ve got it all. However, we put this
privilege to good use. When history tells us “can’t”, we ask “why not?” When
confronted with past patterns of failure, we pick up the pen and draw new
lines.
We
are changing the way the world is seen. We have identified what doesn’t work.
It is within our DNA to identify what does. To do that, we are inspired by the
revolutionaries of the past. Today, our women: code; study STEM subjects, and
play a pivotal role in the boardroom. Our men refuse to follow tradition and
are driven by ideals of inclusivity and fairness. Together, we cure cancer
whilst we sleep, champion diversity at every level, and create IoT solutions to
prevent environmental catastrophe.
Things
are moving and they’re moving fast. Whether it be: paid-charity leave; the
Vodafone Foundation, or getting involved with our networks – at Vodafone, we
are encouraged to grasp the reins.
I found
out about Vodafone’s paid charity leave at my assessment centre. I remember
having a conversation during the lunch-break with a bunch of other
soon-to-be-grads on what we would do. We shared the causes we are passionate
about, movements that make us proud, and fundraising ideas. That, to me, is who
we are - a forward-thinking collective whose eyes light up at the idea of
change.
We
live in a world all too often plagued by crises, uncertainties and fake news. The
cure? Generation Possible.”
