TRAINING
How can newbies get started?
Where can youth find training?
How can 3 billion students be part?
How can all of us make that happen?
ROLE MODEL STORIES matter
as you already know.
The world’s finest teenage hero*ine stories are a must for every child of today.
From bedtime reading to school and instagram.
They need to see the full scope of causes, actions, tools and support, including adult changemakers.
Meeting
Hero/ines
‘LIVE’ as
SPEAKERS
plays an important role.
In North America, is it common to meet teen and adult changemakers LIVE at school, events and via skype.
This is how Craig and Xiuhtezcatl have started their enormous movements.
Teachers appreciate them as role models.
Students get inspired and form local crews.
What we know from music and sports is also true for Doing Good :
- nothing is more inspiring than to experience badasses ‘live’
- to feel their energy
- to hear insights and anecdotes
- Q&A
- planning activities
- celebrating achievements together
Then,
GROUP ACTION

learning by doing
and go into SCHOOLS

those who do not (yet) have own organizations

We can let them choose their pace
casual as Friends Crew – constant as Student Club – full-time as Warrior Clan. There are also special roles.
We can give them benefits
personally, idealistically and professionally.
We can give them an abundance of activities
to choose from, by doing like their experienced peers.
put all this into the slider
We can make their actions reach far
hence vivid documentation is part of the activities
We can start with flying banners

One more thing…
SUMMERCAMPS
for young changemakers
(are a rare thing!)
But how enjoy one’s HOLIDAYS?
Summer camps are tricky.
Which changemaker wants to spend time who don’t share one’s passion for people and planet? Sports camps are not satisfying.
And what about staying in touch with newly won friends?
For young changemakers there’s a new kind of exciting camps, where they meet their kind AND real heroInes, learn about global issues, methods, explore nature in adventurous excursions, vegan cuisine, yoga, bodywork and bushcraft, unfold talents and potentials, develop campaigns and stay in touch after camp via internet and projects.
is a unique and inspiring summer leadership program for youth 12-17 who want to make a difference in the world. A week-long sleep-away program in a beautiful camp location, YEA is designed to be a fun and transformative experience that builds life-long friendships between youth with similar interests in bettering their community and society.
