World Child Forum

    The World Child Forum doesn't exist in isolation. It's part of a continuous conversation between imagination and power, between questions and the world that needs them.

    This is why we created the idea of “The Davos Loop“, a poetic revolution in three acts.


    ACT I

    January 2026 - While the World Economic Forum convenes, we will gather the three most pressing, deepest, most complex questions of our time.

    These questions become the heart of everything that follows.

    ACT II

    July 2026 - Five days where these gathered questions meet play, imagination, and the fearless wisdom of children from around the world.

    Through sound, image, and text, human creative power is made legible. And simultaneously rewritten.

    ACT III

    January 2027 - The questions return transformed. Children and adults carry new possibilities back to where power meets.

    Thus a cycle emerges from questions, voices, perspectives. A dialogue that does not conclude, but continues.


    This isn't a conference. It's a carefully crafted journey through the art of questioning.


    DAY I

    Getting to know each other beyond age, beyond origin, beyond what we think we know. Creating the welcome, the openness, the first spark of understanding that questioning requires. Trust begins here, but grows throughout our time together.

    DAY II

    Diving deep into the first of the three questions gathered in January. Not to solve it, but to let it reshape us. To discover what this question wants to become.

    DAY III

    A new landscape of possibility. The second question opens different doors, invites different ways of thinking, playing, wondering.

    DAY IV

    The final question completes the triangle. By now, participants aren't just exploring questions—they're becoming question-makers themselves.

    DAY V

    The transformed question-askers open up. From Davos into the world. Seeing it with new eyes, carrying new questions.

    Not ending, but beginning—ready to transform wherever they go next.


    This is not work. This is life lived.

    For five days, we don't just attend sessions, we share meals, sleep under the same roof, breathe the same mountain air.

    Because the most important conversations happen between the official moments, in the spaces where children and adults meet as humans.

    Food

    You are welcome to join us in the kitchen, to chop vegetables, to stir the pot, to learn recipes from new friends.

    We source as much as possible from the incredible people in the Davos region: the farmers, the bakers, the cheese-makers who know this land.

    We take care of every eating preference, every dietary need. Because everyone belongs at our table.

    Sleep

    Simple beds. No luxury barriers between participants. Whether you're 8 or 80, you wake up to the same mountain views.

    This isn't about saving money, it's about equality. It's about removing the markers that usually separate us.

    Fresh Air

    We go out. Into the mountains, through the forests, along the little streams that sing down from the peaks.

    Take your questions and ideas for a walk, alone with your thoughts, or with newly found friends.

    The biggest breakthroughs often happen when feet are moving and minds are free to wander.
