Announcing today: The CFZ is launching the new Next Generation Initiative.
The Centre for Fortean Zoology's Next Generation Initiative will be a place where young and aspiring cryptozoologists can go to learn, get advice, receive help with research, and share their own research. The field is constantly getting young people who are interested in working in cryptozoology, but there is nowhere for perspective cryptozoologists to get advice and support. It can be intimidating to ask already established researchers for advice but having a place where people their own age can work together would definitely encourage those interested in the field.
It will also serve as a place where young researchers can share what they are working on and receive constructive feedback and discussion. This is something that the entire field of cryptozoology is lacking and if we can change it with the next generation, then maybe the future of cryptozoology will be different on a whole.
Essentially, the NGI will serve to be a place where the next generation of cryptozoologists can get a head start in the field and begin doing the right things early. It will be a community that is helpful, positive, questioning, and respectful. The NGI will be a place where the up and coming in cryptozoology receive a positive platform for their work and can help shape cryptozoology itself.
Please, if you know any young people interested in being involved in cryptozoology, let them know about the group.
