Next Wave International™ is a communications group which is training companies, major community organizations, charities and churches to engage the future and move society forward in a positive direction - with a special focus on Europe.

The organization was first set up in Melbourne, Australia in 1993, to run an annual conference for community & church leaders. Offices were then added in Copenhagen, Denmark and London. The group was founded by author, speaker and broadcaster Mal Fletcher, who was formerly the founding National Director of Youth Alive Australia.

Next Wave International has strong links with the evangelical wing of the Christian church in Europe. Our work is definitely faith-based, but is not exclusive to the church. We are driven by a passion to help shape a better future for society as a whole, especially in Europe.

In September 2005, Next Wave International celebrated its tenth year of operation in Europe.

Next Wave International was behind the formation of the Euro Youth Events network between 1996 and 2002. This network of community and church leaders ran ongoing, city-wide, alcohol-free youth concerts in eight European capitals. A number of these events are still running and building bridges between troubled youth and community help organizations.

We also host the annual Strategic Leadership Consultation, a think-tank summit for major European community leaders. Discussions at the invitation-only event cover a wide range of issues relating to the future of Europe, and the needs of its people.

Guest contributors at the event have included social campaigner Steve Chalke MBE, Dr. Joel Edwards, Reinhard Bonnke, Winkie Pratney, Arthur Blessitt, Gerald Coates and futurists Dr. Tom Sine and Dr. Patrick Dixon.

At the start of 2008, we launched the Change2020 tour project, to inspire 10 years of positive change in local communities and cities. For more, visit change2020.net.

I want to commend you for the good work you are doing. I'm a 28 year old minister [in Ghana] whom God has called to ... bring together God's people to fight against issues that are killing the youth of today. [My ministry] would like to affiliate itself with your ministry.
