The Telegraph | By , Arts Correspondent | 10 Feb 2015

Bear Grylls’ the television explorer, has published his own ‘manifesto for children’, ruling they must take risks, climb mountain and be banned from computer games.

Computer games should be banned, troubled teenagers compelled to climb mountains and mandatory community service brought in for all, the explorer Bear Grylls has said as he launches a “manifesto” to save the next generation.

 Grylls, the television survivalist, said young people should be encouraged to take risks, “empowering” them to make their own judgments about safety, and be required to take “outdoor classes for all”.

He joked his manifesto could be more successful than projects proposed by politicians, adding the power of celebrity could mean he could change society.
