Generation Next (BBC series)
Encyclopedia
BBC Generation Next was a week-long special running primarily on the BBC World Service
but also on BBC Television
aimed at understanding and exploring how under-18s view the world. The series ran from December 2 to December 10, 2006, and broadcasters Darryl Morris & Kate Tozer presented the week long event, linking the shows and events together after being head hunted to do so by the BBC. Robin Lustig
hosted a key five-part documentary for Generation Next on the World Service. As part of the series, the BBC
also ran School Day 24, which linked up teenagers from schools across a divide (like in Kosovska Mitrovica
between Serbs
and Albanians
or between rural, semi-urban and urban school students in the People's Republic of China
) and The Next Big Thing, a competition to find the best teen band in the world.
