(1) one can be a fan, a supporter, play a little bit, occasionally, or full-time like athletes … and EVERYBODY is important part

(2) focus is on the noticeable, spectacular athletes … but

(3) everybody makes precious contributions. It moves mountains to simply share online, hand a flyer to a teacher, a note on a solution to the right person can spark powerful replication by others, to put up a donation box on the counter, a poster exhibit in a popular cafe, a monthly post to a million followers, many students buying the crew’s best brownies and lemonAID … we provide tools for this, from social media posts to High Impact Starter Actions that generate swift results and community

(4) to sustain inspiration, momentum, and multifaceted fireworks of action, there is need for a constant year-round flow and drumbeat like sports offer with weekly training, freestyling, matches, tournaments, trophies, continental champions and summer training camps and badass athlete training academies

(5) for constant upliftment, learning, a sense of epic and global community there’s need for magazine, hero show etc

(6) there is need for places to MEET (Changemaker Club HQs at school + public LearnSpaces for people to gather to learn, plan and realize projects and campaigns; we have a bundle of tools for setting up such spaces and offer certification as Youth Leadership Learning Centre) 

(7) one needs to have access to plenty of instruments and tunes to wield and play – that’s high impact model actions on all causes, with favorite activities for everybody, and tools and tricks, initiatives to join on the fly

(8) Youth Action needs to be omni-present at home, in the family, at school, the workplace, in public space and media

(9) It must be fit for use at school, and enrich learning culture, with trackable learning goals

(10) There is need for magical coaches on demand

(11) There is need for inspiring encounters with hero*ines

(12) There is need for a global community of like-hearted folks

All of that serves to spark, run, build and evolve local crew, allies, supportive community with resources and relations. The more you activate in town, the more wild, beautiful, impactful, diverse, future-proof, crisis resilient and award-winning your town + region to Able Active Caring Citizenry will become.

Remember Kid President. Whether youth or adults, we are the few and new among boring people that run on outdated windows 95 mindset that cannot play the new hyper positive fast sparkling heartcentred software wired with the Living Planet. Their non-hero*ine mindset, family, school, work, the city, tv constantly pull us down, and everybody has made experience of lockdown, isolation … so, frankly, we all need CONSTANT UPLIFTMENT to keep spirit up, focus, priority goals, to unfold our spirit, wings, boldness and activate peers. 

To keep our AWESOMESS up

… to sustain inspiration, momentum, and multifaceted fireworks of action, there is need for a constant year-round flow and drumbeat of action as we know from Sports, or Music Festivals, or Online Games … with weekly training, freestyling, matches, tournaments, trophies (wins wrap up, exhale, inhale > next round!). We may call this structure a League.

Our YL Programs provide such structures:

1. for youth, we have #bemoreawesome
2. for adults, we have the Boost Club (next page)
3. for school, we have the Global SDG School Challenge

You will discover them later. For now you shall know that you NOW have

• constant wildfire upliftment
• community of fired up practitioners, newbies, experts, hero*ines
• diverse roles, favorites for everybody
• countless ways to contribute – from athlete to muesli man
• tons of action
• tons to celebrate
• simple tools and swift steps to create omni-presence of this spirit online, at home, school, work, public space

that combine all the cool elements you see next. It’s simple. You’ll discover with ease, as you follow online, explore and interact with our social media and newsletters at one’s your own prefered pace.

Now marvel at what’s available for all youth on Earth now … and start dreaming. We have exciting years ahead!

We do not gamify to lure youth to do good. We originally did it on demand from youth that asked for something fun to challenge their boring peers to get active. To be more awesome. At first, we thought “competition is not what Doing Good is about” until we realized that in ONLINE GAMING, youth do 

• take challenges – again and again, that’s marvellous resilience against frustration!
• know diverse character classes – warriors, healers, … – we got even more
• learn to wield their skills, moves, ultimate powers – we got those, too!
• enjoy and study champions’ origin stories – we have real ones
• have a sense of honor and chivalry – going AFK, orkish behavior suck = byebye, banned 
• score wins, credits, level up
• have a feel for myth – can take an “epic” view and see the Grand Quest of our Era 
• enjoy interacting with story and non-player characters – we got plenty of magical people, for real
• enjoy intriguing bonus quests on the gaming map – our cities and regions are full of them
• do #speedruns – straight to goal (next level) without distraction and delay – that’s what the world needs
• understand what #bossbattles mean – honor living legends and understand what’s coming in life
• love #epicwins – scoring those in real life is possible with us!
• higher ranked youth are not envied – since their skills are earned through talent + time of practice
• skills are respected – since they are earned and applied with honesty
• newbies do not feel bad about themselves – since impact comes with practice + they do make impact!
• lower ranked youth are not disrespected – since they share the same Spirit + make many impacts, too
• hall of famers (like our Hero*ines) are honored as legends – since players know this is divine, a blessing for so many lives, the Land and all of us, have huggable big Hearts, their uber awesomeness brings out the best in us and they are our guiding stars at the firmanent and always at our side for our evolution
• FUNdraising “farming” (gold) is part of gaming life – with patience and tenacity

and that’s why we have designed #BeMoreAwesome with a gaming flair.

We experience

when we use gaming terms it makes youth and young adults SMILE and UNDERSTAND how rocking epic, virtuous, courageous and adventurous changemakers are (also Peacemakers who go where there is no peace!) and how awesome youth leadership FEELS. For many, it changes worldview on “doing good, civil society, activism”, for some it is a veritable awakening.

But check out the Remarkable Benefits that this unfolds in our specific context.

Action matters. Talk happens while you play and it’s action oriented. Talkers don’t play our sport. They are not even in sight in our community. Can you imagine? Heavenly! Age limit 8 to 18.

Goals are clear. No endless discussions

Mission-based action gives concrete focus and goal, which is important with “so many things to do”, and gives success, celebration and wrapping things up – which is important “with endless suffering in the world” to move on, take on new challenges, learn more, have more fun and grow the movement to #bemoreawesome

Pace is high through plenty of actions, weekly UN Action Days, mission targets, quick results, lust for more, progress beat felt on social media

Vision beyond short term actions to rise as Warrior, shape the future of regions

Self-responsibility to evolve skills, set targets and earn one’s Shirts … and Sovereignity

Sense of Epic of changing the world, the Quest to liberate the Land from evil cause*rs of suffering

Sense of Sacred of restoring Paradise

Sense of Self in this grand picture as on the right side, good, wise, important, impactful, a part, and sacred

Self-evolution to embody the Virtues like hero*ines do, acquire the bond with body, nature, animals …

High benchmarks. Low spirit earns nothing. A cookie sale won’t cut it. #bemoreawesome

Epic Wins help gain the global community’s attention for extraordinary achievements

Boss Battle Calls raise the entire community’s attention for collective priority participation

Quests are understood as life-long challenges with masterful skills to learn and evolve

BADGES for completed missions. Sense of awesome. Rapid success, tick off, move on. Recognition by other warriors and by society, of lasting value for CV, for life. Helps us see a Warrior’s thematic foci

CREDITS for impact and headlines made. Shows who excels in FUNdraising, media presence etc. – guiding everybody’s attention to learning from them, and helps us detect special talent to get on the Show

RANKS. Sense of self, track action, show experience, oneself in context of others with same pure priorities. And in context of a society with other priorities and no less experiences in making impact

IMAGINE A GATHERING. Online, you can tell from a glance at Ranks how awesome participants are, from Badges if they share your foci. Face to face, jackets with Buttons, Patches, Flags tell you you are among an Army of Light and Beautiful Beasts. You don’t want to miss the campfire tales of Warriors Level 70+, that’s 210 missions each! Can you imagine their experience, impact and stories? True Legends! What a crowd!

Profiles show all this, combined with Warrior Chronicles they make a CV of Awesome

Warrior Chronicles (on social media) show their activities, vividly documented; adds to CV of Awesome

CV of AWESOME helps us open our fine young changemakers their professional path as adults, so they can glide into positions of influence, because who but them do we all want there for the best of all?

APPLICATION FOR INTERNSHIPS, STUDY, WORK: “Warrior Level 70!?!? We are honored that you choose our our company / organization / institution. What would you like to do?” … and insiders will add “what do you say, how can we as a company / institution / organization #bemoreawesome?”

Season’s End – we gather for celebration of epic wins, honor continental champions …

Summer Camps – Ranks, Badges, Credits, CVs of Awesome help applicants raise FUNDS for their journey, and help us define special camps

Mentors. Ranks help us detect, select and appoint mentors

Code of Honor. Live by it or you’re out. No toxic discussions, no take-over by dominant egos. That’s very helpful!

“It’s just a GAME.” We can say this whenever people get too serious.
