Generation Next (BBC series)

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 2 to 10 December 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.
