Five days. Children and adults from all over the world. A collaboration that takes place nowhere else. The World Child Forum is not a conference. No panels, no presentations, no ready-made answers. Instead: a space where people open up – to each other and to questions that have yet to take shape. The method is play. Not as childishness, but as what it truly is: the oldest and most honest way to discover new things.

Children carry something within them that adults have often lost. The ability to ask questions without already knowing the answer. The willingness not to know. The trust that the world responds when you touch it. We need this awareness back – not as nostalgia, but as a compass.

In January, children, teenagers, and adults collect questions on the streets of Davos with a giant, glowing puppet – while the World Economic Forum meets next door. In July, these questions come here, to the same convention center where the world’s powerful usually gather. In January 2027, the insights return. A cycle begins. The Davos Loop.

What happens during these five days is difficult to describe beforehand. There’s playing, exploring, debating, and marveling—indoors and outdoors, in the mountains, in the fresh air.

Nothing is isolated. Nothing asserts itself. Things touch and interpenetrate each other. Children and adults become friendly to one another—in the original sense of the word: they recognize each other as allies. Anyone who considers this naive is probably not ready yet. Anyone who becomes curious might be exactly where they need to be.
