YL WEBCASTS
UNITED NATIONS DAYS are important occasions, that remind us
- on GLOBAL ISSUES
- on our COMMON HUMANITY
- on global, concerted democratic governance
- on stewardship of The Commons
but usually just
- with dire, depressive facts
- with lukewarm, even naive commemoration
- hiding the urgency of our challenges
in these crossroads times determining the future of all species and generations to come.
Our webcasts unite SEVERAL YL SPEAKERS with a focus on
- wildly successful youth-powered model solutions
- replicable by your groups
- how your group can run a year-round stream of changemaking activities
Theme Focus
Did you know that there are many more UN Days than Peace, Girls and Women? Our programs cover an average of 3 UN Days per Month for our Hero/ines of the Month Exhibits and Change Generation Rising activity program. We plan for monthly Webcasts for the most popular days, as well as per demand of our growing community of schools and action crews.
Several Changemakers
We unite several changemakers for an exciting multi-faceted program of short presentations covering important aspects of the Day’s theme, and offering a wide range of activities for different age and user groups.
Solutions
Each Day and Theme Set comes with 4 to 12 hero/ines. Each stands for a powerful solution for alleviating the terrible suffering of people and planet. This is what we need for UN Days – and what we have to do is : take action!
Action Opportunity
Each Speaker’s Action Kit offers a wide range of action tipps, from easy to advanced, short- and long-term, local and global. This makes 16 to 48 optional actions per UN Day.
Embed in Theme Weeks & Months
Joining the Webcast can be a HIGHLIGHT of several weeks of activities leading up to it – of activities, impact and achievements for the cause to be mentioned during the event, and your group being involved LIVE. The Webcast’s energy also inspires follow-up actions at and beyond school, in public, in media, documented in our social media, inspiring further actions and meetings.
Across Time Zones
Webcasts with several speakers take several hours, or stretch in sessions across a half or full day. This way, we can get many people involved to benefit from the occasion, be part of something big celebrate together. Can you imagine the impact of 100 schools joining in, each contributing a fundraiser? It can easily mean $100,000 for our Hero/ines’ causes, and that’s impact, dear! Let’s go, World, we are legion!!
