Four outstanding, young global citizens discuss their aspirations for the future.

We bring together four outstanding young people, global citizens of the 21st Century, to discuss their generation's aspirations for the future.

This week we bring you the thoughts of four outstanding young people on what the future might hold for us: Winston Damarillo, a software entrepreneur from the Philippines, who believes cloud computing can transform developing countries; Canadian criminologist Baillie Aaron and her new ideas for helping young offenders; Ben Green, a brilliant young Cambridge mathematician, who is seeking to unearth new secrets about prime numbers; and Fauzia Musa, Indian-born trend analyst, who scours the world of commerce, fashion and travel for signs of changing attitudes.
