The Futureneers
United Kingdom
Registrace 1. 12. 2016
The Futureneers is about giving people the keys to drive their own future.
I'm currently working on a programme to help young folk to learn useful life skills and gain valuable knowledge that took me years to learn - and I'm also planning to give the 'square pegs' something that works alongside their mainstream school's education (that's more suited to round pegs) so they get a more balanced view of the world and realise that their unique outlook, skills, capabilities are strengths rather than problems...
If you want to support the work of The Futureneers financially or with your skills please get in touch.

It was a true pleasure to talk to John and if you have time I would urge you to watch his documentary here: jonc.uk/j...

They got greedy and with chomo behaviour and started to enjoy life at the expense of the future in sort we have more parasites that don't provide anything but take everything
Incredible story. Incredible turnaround.
Pleasure speaking with you, Jon!
Thought provoking!!
Very inspiring, thanks for sharing Jon 🙏
Fascinating guy, thanks for sharing!
More than happy to help here Jon! You know where I am :)
Love the exciting and dynamic content 🤣 …. Actually the message was interesting too!
Nice to see the progress Jon, this one looks like a big step. Happy to give some time shout if you want me.
@@the-futureneers Here if and when buddy.
By "autonomy" could they possibly mean "independent or critical thinkers"?
@@the-futureneers I think you were talking about schools "spoonfeeding" kids, which destroys their "autonomy" by which I think you meant "critical thinking skills" but heck, I don't remember!
You're very natural on camera Jon. Interesting point about them having money for careers based activities
LOVED This! keep going!
Your long-term vision is excellent!
Video turned out great!
Besides the speech program, I also once put together a training for 11-18 yr old kids based on the "How to Make Friends and Influence people" book by Dale Carnegie. Many children are awkward at that age and have difficulties making friends, getting part-time jobs, or interacting with adults in general. It really helped many of them and, dare I say? ... gave them tools to use for life :)
@@the-futureneers I put a message out to parents, to a certain extent word passed among the kids too because it was fun. Teenagers tend to like me as I am not "regular" lol
Hey Jon! This is awesome, I'm really excited for you and really keen to learn a bit myself. Well done and keep going.
"The School For Life"... what a great concept..
Good luck Jon. Great purpose and much needed for the next gen. Hope you find a way to effectively part your wisdom :-)
I'm strapping in for the ride, Jon. Best of luck mate.
The video pauses every time I click on the...No wait... I've got it! but seriously, keep it coming, have you attempted to engage with schools yet? I see the business is set up now and have subscribed to contact from it, but are you planning on going to schools with an offering that can be refined, or do you want to evolve with a particular school? do you envisage using their facilities? Have you any idea how this will mobilise? Will this be a charity? Are you looking for volunteers? How do you want people to volunteer? I ask this publicly as I guess somebody else may want to know some of these things. I can feel the passion and I can see the ethos, but not the plan - yet.
@@the-futureneers I figured that may be the case, but thought it was worth getting it out there. This platform could be really good as a sounding board, if you want to use it as that. Always here to chat stuff through too.
Off the top of my head, there must be government funding for such schemes. I would expect that you would need to tick certain boxes to qualify - They may only be available in certain regions (Coastal regions tend to be areas that get additional support due to their catchment being reduced by the coastline), you may need certain qualifications in your ranks, current disclosure checks for people operating with you etc, approved materials etc. That would be my first step, for what its worth. Find the grants and funding and see what qualifies for it.
If you find the grants, I can definitely help you with compliance.
Good Luck John - Hope my subscribe hopes you get the youtube name you deserve.
Good luck Jon! Love the plan - and love how you're going for it even without the 911 and the 7 figure retirement fund. The Victorian educational model was so, so flawed even before the internet arrived ... but now 25 years on it's laughable. Go for it and the best of luck!
I saw an earlier ted talk on this...I think I may have mentioned it to you when chatting. Not watched this one yet, but its more recent. If you haven't yet, check out the Khan academy, it could save re-inventing the wheel, and better it could be done in parallel with syllabus teaching. Fully support you buddy, shout if I can help. m.czcams.com/video/YkNmxJh_5WE/video.html
