Our Signature

Our speakers are no amateurs, animators, employees or volunteers, but

  • highly experienced heartcore practitioners, with broad knowledge, global horizons, providing new solutions, perspectives and opportunities
  • truly grand changemakers, with achievements and empowerment far beyond big-mouthed talkers and advocates
  • true world experts, with expertise far beyond common “experts”

Our encounter is no brief, flat, frontal Powerpoint-presentation that leaves you empty-handed

  • Swift preparation that upgrades the group’s knowledge, at heart and eye-level with the speaker
  • Option for practical action before the encounter; highly recommended
  • Our meet-ups is no edutainment, but an open, flexible conversation with high participation
  • A relevant, intimate encounter sharing anecdotes, insights, experiences, outlooks
  • Option for practical follow-up activities and cooperation

Inspired youth and adults can also follow up independent from the group, and organize activities with us, and receive coaching, for example as Changemaker Student Club, as member of the Boost! Club etc.

  • This liberates teachers from responsibilities and group expectations that they cannot fulfill
  • This enables companies, conferences and events to combine inspiration with action and partnerships

Our encounter can be combined with UNITED NATIONS Theme Days – water, peace, girls, biodiversity etc – with special stories, actions, exhibits, project days, activation of teachers, media, city … 

We can focus on specific local or global projects, problems and potentials … since this is not about us “speakers” but about empowering your group to realize your good dreams for people and planet.

ACTIVITIES

Examples for BEFORE and AFTER our encounter

FUNdraising

$100€. But what about $1€ per student of the school? $1,000€ would move quite something. There’s classes that aimed at $350 and made $1,400 in 2 weeks. Are you ready to discover how many potentials, givers and in-kind support you can unlock in your extended community of parents, their workplaces etc?

Support the Initiative

e.g. a book and games drive for Emma and Julia, Babar, Neha. A school can easily raise 1 per student, 1,000 pieces worth $10,000€. Wow! Wouldn’t that make the news? It would, and that will unlock even more support! Which goals would inspire you?

Join the Initiative, reach Milestones

THE MANY ADVANTAGES

by using the many flanking measures:

  • the impact is multipled
  • the encounter becomes more more exciting
  • it is memorable, long-term; so many “moments and stories”
  • opportunity for specialized teams to follow their passion, wield their talents, contribute in their way (in-kind, FUNdraising, media work, art, presentations…)
  • it produces many experiences, creative contributions and contents for media
  • the “core goal” (encounter and education) is definitely secure. There is liberty for experimentation and achieving many precious extra goals, evolving life skills

Further:

  • much higher pedagogical value
  • much higher motivation by bigger vision, meaning, involvement
  • sportive dimension : “how much of it can we realize?”
  • suboptimal results are acceptable, they do not sabotage the overall success
  • the “spectacular” presence and “attention” gives opportunity to reach other wishes and milestones (for example media presence, activating the entire school…)

= it is a strong experience of one’s AGENCY

  • “wow, we can truly move big things!”
  • as individual, as group, as school, as city
  • “what are we gonna do next?”
  • write history with a taste of magic and adventure

= an experience of STRATEGY 

  • use every bit of potential for “more”
  • because they are easy to unlock!

This multiplex experience can be used for various ventures in the future

Attention : also INDIVIDUALS

can use this strategy to activate an entire school and city. Especially

  • students
  • teachers
  • parents
  • YL Coaches

* especially those who have completed the YL Coach Tutorial and use our tips and tricks
