Make Changemaking Your “Sport”

this means stop behaving like a lame fan liking stuff on insta, waiting for someone to act, or being told what (not) to do.

Instead, like in sports or music – learn the basic rules and tunes, start with basic moves, do like your hero*ines, mix in freestyle and go epic. Rock hard, score goals, like an athlete! That’s how impact happens, community builds and fun skyrockets!

Your level of involvement is most defined by your pace of action.

The Superpowers of Young People at School

Why school? It is where you/th spend a big part of each day, so why get bored and sit idle? Next, it’s where we can reach all youth, daily, for their 10+ forming years. This is the only space and time phase, that this young generation can learn the mind-, feel- and skillset to create the next level good society.

And then, youth at school have tremendous superpowers that youth outside school do not have. Also, adults don’t have that, even if they wanted to. We work with you to unfold these powers to the max. Check them out below.

Life at Dragonheart School

 Imagine that 1 student per class at your school join the club. That’s how many members? What if 2 join? At an ordinary school, this makes 50 to 100 students. As they form focus teams on favorite causes, they can easily make youth leadership omni-present.

Meet Hero*ines LIVE
