Mission statement
The Next Generation Foundation is a private, not-for-profit organisation initiated by Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen, CEO of LEGO Company, who is also the Chairman of the Executive Board. The purpose of this initiative is to explore the idea that children are a largely undiscovered human resource in modern society, that their potential must be set free, and new opportunities for children's learning, creativity and play must be developed and encouraged in the 21st century. The foundation is supported by a large network of specialists, and works with a broad network of partner institutions around the globe. | | The Next Generation Roundtable
The Next Generation Foundation (NGf) grew out of the Next Generation Roundtable, an initiative by LEGO and the House of Monday Morning to explore the nature of creativity and learning. From 1998 - 2002 the Roundtable produced several documents, including an Annual Report in 1999, 'Towards the Creative Society', and a 'Manifesto and Call to Action' written by Seymour Papert, in 2001.
