So … all this beauty is happening in the world. And most people agree that this should happen everywhere. So, how can it happen in your life and region?
We have stories, films, music, and I know most of these people personally. They share the dream that our entire young generation should be empowered to lead rich lives of purpose, passion, friendship and adventure like the youth featured in this exhibit.
As you can tell from the exhibit, we can support changemakers, book speakers and coaches, use these stories and activities at schools, in our professions, we can form youth teams, run campaigns … so all we need is to make it conveniently accessible and usable for everyone.
With YOUTH-LEADER, we have bundled up resources, tools, methods and support services for all of you to amplify youth leadership in the world and make it part of your life.
Check it out!
First, everybody should know.
We can take the stories home, to study them, have them close by our bed, and for the little ones grow up with the spirit of Youth We Can from an early age.
With Family & Friends activities,
to make changemaking part of daily life… coloring, planting, music/al, nature walks, restoration, photo, film, art …
It should also be public
and long-term, so that many people see it, converse, connect with others.
Schools, public libraries, living museums, cities, community centres
love teen hero*ines and active citizenship, and to connect with the citizenry, youth and schools.
One can do this any time, but for public displays one can very well team up with the City for UN Day of Youth, Earth Day, Spring Of Sustainability, SDG Campaigns etc.
What people say
Germany: “Students and teachers agree: the exhibit was the best thing at the School Project Day. Our principal decided to set up three changemaker courses for 8th grade students to thart the next semester.”
India: “The posters were a smash hit with the students. I was so tired in the morning, but after this experience, I am full of energy. You should have been there to see it! Our principal decided to set up a long-term exhibit.”
What school teachers say
Korea: “I used some of the stories in class. It’s been one of the most energized lessons of my teaching career. Even the most quiet students had something to say. Students ask how they can get involved.”
What adult educators say
Poland: “I used the cardgame in my Business English for Adults Class. To be honest, the group is lazy and more into flirting. I distributed cards and tasked people to explain their hero*ine to their neighbour. I have never seen them so focussed and passionate! They really wanted to get this story across. And as you predicted, there’s stories for every type of person, eco or business. After the session, a big entrepreneur stopped at the door and told me he was was really impressed by Gabrielle’s entrepreneurial spirit. It’s been a really amazing experience.”
What psychologists say
New Zealand : “This would be useful for work with challenged youth dealing with mental illness.”
Poland : “This would be good in prisons, especially with young delinquents.”
Australia : “YOUTH-LEADER is a blessing for parents and families.”
Are you just kids? Ordinary citizens? That’s fine. You can do that. Or step up as a local team or YL Coach (view Tutorial + Crash Course below) as part of the worldwide YL network.
Next, very important – how do we get from Inspiration to Action?
There’s definitely need for help. And it is surprisingly SIMPLE.
We can find an enormous lot of guidance in the success stories and secrets that we have learned from hanging out with our hero*ines and genius folks.
We have bundled up a Crash Course – for individuals and for groups that propels you into the amazing world of youth leadership and gives you an incredible lot of knowhow and advantage over … everybody else … enabling you to bring hope, tools and opportunities to others!
Online Tutorial & Crash Course
We have compiled the most awesome stories, films and music to fire up people’s Inner Hero*ine in the
#BeMoreAwesome Crash Course
with feedback, reflection, questions and a handful of practical activities to swiftly experience youth leadership essentials and get ready to move mountains – seriously! – by doing like our hero*ines.
Do you deserve a Badge for this?
Yes. Crash Coursers even get a YL Coach Certificate upon completion and those doing great things for their people – receive Warrior Honor Shirts. So #BemoreAwesome
YL COACHES are ready to activate groups !
… using a mix of the magic you’ve tasted in this exhibit
Session #1
(90 mins) : 24 story posters, films, music + open conversation + instant actions + YL offers + harvest feedback + agree on follow-up
leads to the formation of a
Changemaker Student Club
that unites fired up students across classes and grades. That’s new and powerful – read the Bulls Eye toggles!
Session #2
(90 mins): Roadmaps to follow Hero*ines’ Paths observing which tricks they use, 190 steps, 150 tricks, create own roadmaps, present to the group
ready to turn them into action and use our full scope of resources and global network
Here's what youth say
90+% of students agree : super new + super inspirational + super important for their generation + should be at their school + 10+% willing to get active right away, 70+% willing to be contribute and be part on occasion. That is spectacular results! And you can guide this 1 or 2 session course. Easy. One can also make it a project week, or do 4 phases.
And you can do this. Easy!
Ponder this ...
Of course, not all students will join a changemaker student club, but they all respect and back young activists now. If just 1-2 per class join, it makes 20 to 100 at a school! Wheew, that’s one formidable force, and equipped with tools for 400+ year-round actions and an enormous global support network of hero*ines!
YOUTH’s daily hangout being school
we provide Student Clubs with tons of support to do everything that teen and adult hero*ines do :
- Projects and campaigns
- FUNdraisers of all sorts
- Lifestyle Challenges and Social Experiments
- music, media work, arts …
We unite youth in #BeMoreAwesome
our global changemaker training and action program for youth age 8 to 18 offers options for everyone to act at their own pace:
Team Headquarters with Flair
Just like music band rooms and teenage rooms have posters of their hero*ines, a Changemaker HQ requires proper ambience!
We got that to get started.
You know that behind each face is a story
… a success model and guidance to copy-paste an enormous solution to your city and wherever needed. That’s strong.
This knowledge must not get “out of sight out of mind” hidden away in books. It has to be out there, in our faces – also these posters serve us introduce newbies and guests to the world of changemaking and to what your crew is doing.
Honor it. Get it. Use it.
ADULTS’ daily hangout being the workplace
we provide lots of resources, tricks and opportunities to inspire and involve colleagues, customers, trainees, staff and even run projects and campaigns with changemakers.
We unite adults in the Boost! Club
a crowdfunding community for young hero*ines and local youth leadership – with tons of activities, far more than ordinary crowdfunding platforms offer – by
- supporting young hero*ines : through FUNdraising, (an incredible lot of fresh and fun) in-kind support, and even teaming up for projects
- activating the citizenry : by seeding flyers, posters, media reports
- kickstarting and supporting local youth : through seeding media to schools, giving presentations (crash course sessions #1 and #2)
- supporting your favorite YL programs (you’ll agree you want those in the world)
with a lot of fun and personal and professional benefits!
We truly collaborate with today’s Gandhis, Galadriels & Gryffindores!
Which (ad)ventures do you wish to join first? There is time for many of them
since each only take specific time, and many even interlock and amplify one another!
Do you want to MEET Hero*ines? Of course.
And we make it the most exciting possible!
No powerpoints.
You’ll know their stories, videos, social media and when we meet we dive right into a conversation, on what’s current, your burning questions, your ideas, fun anecdotes, what’s next and how to be part. Plus options to take action
- before the meeting
- after the meeting
to celebrate achievements, bring in ideas, plan, team up to scale up their impact, literally shape the future of their entire regions and also scale up inter/nationally, benefitting also other hero*ines we connect with!
Yes! Awesome.
Get started on your Crash Course to enter the Tribe!
Let’s also think beyond our personal bubble to – activate society!
Where can youth and adults come together to learn, team up and act to create a good world for all?
Nowhere, really. So let’s create a pop-up model for this that serves people to get started right here right now with lots of fun, action, can-do feel, results, beauty and flair of adventure.
Interactive Exhibits
are a simple way to set up a basic framework.
It gets easy nowadays when connecting them with the SDGs as
SDG LearnZone
- with a focus on Youth Leadership and Active Citizenship
- with options to add local issues, call for hero*ine nominations etc etc
- with UNESCO and UNU status. Who could possibly say no?
The SDGs are en vogue, but a bit blabla lame.
With us one can learn to Live the SDGs – in Action!
Evolve them to LearnSpaces
for youth and adults to meet to change the world
- at school
- at public libraries
- eco-ho(s)tels …
and where you see fit.
these spaces can all greatly benefit through exciting uplifting contents, with citizens that self-organize activities, form crews and connect with the greater community
These are excellent Headquarters
for changemaker student clubs at school and after school, in libraries.
The posters and books show 400+ activities, activating many allies
reaching into the city LearnScape and -region
Then, of course, we really need to make the most of SCHOOL, the space where all young people spend 8+ hours every day of their 10 forming years.
Each of us can activate 1+ schools around us by seeding info to caring teachers, caring parents, caring students or by even giving Crash Course sessions #1 and #2, in one class, inspiring youth to spread it following your example, or on a project day, week, school fest, UNITED NATIONS Theme Day …
Activated Schools
are a blessing for the world.
You’ve seen what student clubs rock, but look at it again and feel these marvelous youth make life more awesome
The Youth will want to meet
their fellow Warrior friends
from other schools, cities, countries, continents
and what better adventure to spend the holidays?
Parents and YL Coaches
ask us “can we join, too?!”
YES! Not always but often, and be part of the crew.
Pure epic. Everybody is so excited, so mount your horses and get these programs started all over the planet!
Isn’t that what you wish kids to grow up with?
En masse? At every school on Earth?
For an entire generation to grow up with humanity’s finest, changing lives, land, learning, laws and industries at record speeed and scale, upgrading society from voters to changemakers, like we upgraded from minions to voters.
It’ll change everything.
Play your part, and seed it around you
in your favorite ways, along your dreams, for your milestones. It’s about your future life on Earth. Also as a senior.
We report on all of it in our media
the unfolding adventures of hero*ines, visionary changemakers, and our wonderful youth crews and adult allies!
You can be part!
as volunteer writer, translator, artist, social media wizard …
and co-create a
Local YL Magazine edition
featuring local changemakers and cool stuff, as part of our global magazine
Aspiring young Artists, Musicians, Creatives …
experiment on creating Art in Service to Life on Earth! Exciting!
