First Lady Melania Trump launched Fostering the Future Together—a global coalition of nations committed to enhancing the well-being of children through the promotion of education, innovation, and technology.
The U.S. First Lady shared Fostering the Future Together’s mission; “to ensure that every child can flourish in the digital era.” She affirmed, “Innovation is wonderful. Our nations benefit from advancements in technology—saving lives, expanding access to knowledge, connecting people, and of course, safety.”
The First Lady reinforced her mission to prioritize the development of children at the intersection of technology and education. She artfully stated, “Great minds have turned marbles into microchips, paper airplanes into drones, and kites into satellites.”
The First Lady’s remarks were given during the 80th session of the UN General Assembly, “Remember, our next generation will use tech to revolutionize how we live, travel, design, and connect.”
Fostering the Future Together’s objectives during this initial phase include:
Prioritization of personal development of children.
Unification of efforts surrounding children, technology, and education.
