About you.
Without you.
Every day someone decides something about this generation. In a room this generation is not in. UKnow is how it gets back to the table and stays there.
You're 13–20?
The chair is open.
Hosting, an idea, a tournament in your city. One paragraph starts it.
Season 1 is being cast.
The first season goes at the law that bans under-16s from social media. Applications closed in two weeks.

Four ways in.
Pick one, start today.
A podcast, a game, a merch line and an open door. Different surfaces, one job: turn what you already know into something that moves.
The Voice
Teens on the law that bans them from social media, written by people who never asked them. Season one, recording now.

The Room
Sport is the one language nobody needs translated. Play it with someone you were told to hate.
PlayThe Skin
Wearable protest. The error code for a range nobody can satisfy, worn on purpose.

Every face here
is a story.
Not stock. Not actors. Photographed by Jeremy Cowart, and each of them arrived with something they already know. Read them, don't just look.
Olena · 17 · Ternopil, UA“The siren app knows my name better than my school does.”
Three years of studying between alerts. She wants season one to start there, not with a war summary.
Her story
Dennis · 16 · USA“They banned the app. Nobody asked what I used it for.”
Runs a forty-person study group in a chat the new law would close down.
His story
Caitlyn · 17 · Cincinnati“Adults keep calling it screen time. It's my whole team.”
Organises a city league online, and wants one room where the coaches hear it from her.
Her story
Martina · 16 · Italy“I learned my second language from people I'd never meet.”
Argues the internet did the peacebuilding first and the rules turned up later.
Her story
Sol · 16 · Florida“Every adult in that hearing was older than the internet.”
Watched the whole session and wants to answer it, line by line, on the record.
His story
Callie · 15 · North Carolina“I'm the youngest here and the only one who read the bill.”
Brought annotations. Season one owes her a microphone.
Her storyEighteen people applied to host season one in two weeks. Five countries, ages fourteen to eighteen.
You already
know. So bring it.
A podcast episode, a tournament, a drop, a campaign in your city. If it moves something, it belongs here. Send it in a paragraph, we answer every one.
Send your ideaWho stands behind this.
UKnow is not a startup with a logo. It runs inside an existing organisation, with its partners.
A verb,
not a complaint.
Six rules we run on. The first one is the whole point: a week without action is a week without UKnow.
Action that doesn't stop
Not a campaign, not a summit. A thing that ships every week.
Agency first
Young people are the makers here, never the audience.
We refuse to inherit hatred
It was handed down. We're not taking it.
Encounter over division
More glue, fewer scissors. Meeting beats arguing.
Smart, never down
We talk as equals. Irony and precision, not slang.
Show, don't preach
Evidence and work on the table. No sermons.
Get in the room.
Record an episode, join the game, run something where you live. One paragraph is enough to start.
