Swiss school, Institut auf dem Rosenberg, recently named “Best School in the World” by Premium Europe, will put youth voices at the heart of global conversations this year during Davos next week. They will make history this month, as the first school ever to host at the World Economic Forum. Renowned as the home of the Artisans of Education, Rosenberg has long redefined what schooling can be, operating independently from national systems and designing an education model rooted in future needs rather than past frameworks. The school will launch Rosenberg House which will showcase pioneering student-led innovation in climate resilience and ethical AI and future skills.
From 19-24 January, 2026, the space on Schatzalp will bring together students with global decision-makers, technologists, scientists, designers, and cultural leaders for five days of roundtables, workshops, and salons on the most urgent issues of our time. The initiative, known as Rosenberg House, will be a first for Davos where the pioneering school and international students will open the venue for global dialogue – all designed, led, and hosted by teenagers.
A Blueprint for the Future of Global Education
“This isn’t a simulation, it’s a real-world initiative with real-world consequences,” said Bernhard Gademann, President of Institut auf dem Rosenberg. “It goes far beyond classroom exercises or model summits. The world is gathering to make decisions that will affect the next generation – young people deserve a seat at the table. Today’s students will shape solutions to challenges we cannot yet fully imagine. At Davos, we aim to demonstrate that education must not simply teach knowledge, it must create tomorrow.”
The school will champion the voice of young innovators and spotlight student-led solutions shaping the future of sustainability, climate resilience, ethical technology and human-centred leadership. Rosenberg House has been developed with a select group of exclusive partners across science, design, technology, finance, media, and diplomacy, including including: MIT, ETH Zurich & Singapore, UC Berkeley, Vitra, Diplomatic Courier, Smithsonian Science Education Center, Sapienship Lab and the Tim Bergling Foundation (a Swedish non-profit focused on mental health), among others.
At the heart of the week is the Youth Manifesto for Action, a student-authored declaration developed with input from global experts. Topics range from digital equity and climate resilience to ethical leadership and long-term governance. The manifesto will be shared with international institutions as a call for bold, youth-informed action.
Previous projects have included working with architect Norman Foster, as well as Blue Nomad – a modular, ocean-based living concept for communities threatened by rising sea levels; featured at the London Design Biennale and Monaco Energy Boat Challenge.
