FOR STUDENTS

 

Unless we completely change our ways, humankind will go down the drain with the dissolving life system sof the planet. Life will be way more less fun that it is now, and already, we agree, it could be way more fun for everyone.

Contrary to the common negative scenarios depicted by mianstream media and politicians, we have a wealth of solutions at hand that can create a world that works for all, decreases destruction, pollution and exploitation, regenerates degenerated landscapes, creates billions(!) of sustainable jobs and overcomes poverty in every part of the globe. And - also to have awesome schools, by the way!

This is not wishful thinking, but every bit of this has been realised, has affected millions, receives awards left and right and this is what the world's leading changemaker communities advocate on major summits like recent www.reworktheworld.org in Sweden (June 2010).

And there is so much more than has been presented at RWTW!

 

Youth-Leader has access to mind-blowing solutions and inspirational people no other medium has presented in this combination before. YL is the most powerful package of inspiration and knowledge you have come across!

We have a powerful approach of getting this knowledge out around the globe by involving close to a thousand online volunteers coordinating, translating, writing, taking outreach measures, organising events and even launching National and Local Editions.

And this is where you come into the picture.

Not only can you upgrade yourself by expanding your world-view with YL, but you can join a global movement, and you can inspire your school!

One single person can take this world of solutions into schools at no cost - by simply printing our articles and setting up a Positive News Board within minutes. This is a space where students can get inspired by global innovation, for classroom discussion and projects. It is also a great space for posting and sharing local projects and initiatives, so the local change oriented students get to know each other and unite for action.

 

There is awesome potential in YL, and we are just starting to unleash it!

 

 

 

TAKING THE HIGH END IN SUSTAINABILITY LEARNING INTO SCHOOLS

Besides connecting with innovative thinkers like you, it is our aim to connect with the young generation worldwide. The more millions get to know about feasible, applied alternatives, the more we accelerate positive change.

Since the biggest, easiest and least tapped multiplier space for reaching young people is schools worldwide, we have designed YL Magazine at the crossroads of civil society, sciences, citizenship, youth, media and education. In an easy format to take cutting edge change-making knowledge and action INTO SCHOOLS.

We have been awarded triple status as Official Project of the United Nations Decade of Education for Sustainable Development 2005-2014.

This fact enables any caring child, youth, student, educator or parent to connect with us and set up a Positive News Board in school - to make the real thing available! It takes only 15 minutes, every two weeks. Available daily, it will change the way young people see the world. It will open amazing doors to those eager for change. And done right, it will inspire discussion, community-building and action! Find out more in the Take Action section.
