  • is to nurture and amplify student managed project-orientedlearning in school context, with a focus on replication of provenmodel sustainability solutions from environment to peace,gende, wildlife, health, food abundance etc - in direct colabo-ration with outstanding youth leaders and visionary change-makers from the global arena.

    The solutions, media, methods and support networks are inplace. Our supportive community of "warriors, clans, tribesand heroes" is a learning program, youth leadership training,toolbox and adventure reality game all in one. Connected tothis friendly network, young people and teachers in schoolsget free access to extraordinary media, ideas, monthly missions- evoking life changing impacts with the EINSTEINS ANDGANDHIS OF TODAY.

    This is how a new generation can grow up with the skills, tools,knowledge and access to avantgarde innovation networks thatqualify for a sustainable, peaceful, just and thriving civilisation.

    Again: the goal is student-managed activities in the shape ofecoclubs and youth groups. We do not need time and class-room activities. But ONE experience in class is precious!

    a. for the live meeting experience(of genuine changemaker spirit and being *part of it*)

    b. for connecting as a group(change happens when people share passion for ideals)

    c. for reaching those not yet in eco- and action-clubs(because there is so much more that they can do)

    d. for on-going connectivity to the powerful changemaker spirit(and not falling asleep in the muck of an apathic environment)

    Across age groups, cultures, regions and professions.people agree about YL videos, speakers and actions:

    "These are the most inspirational videos I have ever seen.I never knew that young people could do such things. It makesme feel I want to get up and do something, too. This shouldbe in all schools!"

    We can do this, along with a full scale support network.What we have to do is the first step to reach youth. We cando so in many ways, but to reach them in school, in class, oras ecoclubs, is our favourite. Also, we favour the alliance withone, two, three teachers, who love to see youth led action,because it makes it easier to unfold the benefits to the entireschool community, - through the hands of a few young people.

    We can access youth in school from several angles.

    Once an active group is sparked, using poster sets, monthlymissions, it evolves by itself.

    FOR ACTIVE GROUPS, we offer webcasts also afterschool,in evenings, on week-ends, across timezones. But participationin YL Webcasts on UN Days allows us to connect with localmedia, newsletters and organizations working on the topic ofthe current UN Days & everyday learning culture. JOIN IN!

  • Do you wish to learn how to create a world of peace, goodtimes, opportunity, awesome and abundance for all?

    Well, this is what we are meeting for.To help you learn transform the world around you.

    This means, we are meeting for an active learning process.not for boring presentations, and giving you a short dose ofedutainment.

    It is very simple and fun.

    view videos, posters and stories. share the resources,then present your hero and solution to the group.this is a fun, collective process. then you'll know alot before we meet.

    think about your favourite causes. which one do youwish to see become reality for more people? whichspeakers would you love to meet and ask questions,so you become actually able to do the same!?

    take 3 missions. 2 in support of your favourite initia-tives and a social experiment.

    Now, we can truly meet at eye-level. Now you becomepart of the story and experience. Now, everybodycan learn from you as well, during our webcast.

    See? This is the real thing. We take you serious!This is how we all grow into heroes and evoketremendous change. Now imagine doing this monthly.

    WE KNOW that this cannot be done by everyoneand every group in our first encounter. So, preparein YOUR way - for Quick, Basic or Full Participation.

  • We have a general layout for our webcasts, - but it can changedepending on the day. So, expect to be surprised.

    SESSIONSWe have 3-hour sessions (180min) in mornings and afternoons.Each 3h-Session has three 1-hour segments.Our 3 hour Session on Peace With our Food, for example,has 3 segments, each focussing on one aspect:- clean, secure, abundant water- sustainable palm oil- GMO labellingEach of these segments has 1-3 heroes / speakers

    EACH SEGMENTbegins with a 3-5 min video about the hero, followed by a briefpresentation. After a casual dialogue about 'what's new', weopen the floor to you, the audience, to hear from your disco-veries, learning, actions and questions ... about the hero'sjourney, challenges + how you can make this happen. Do yousee how your preparation (left page) makes all the difference?

    CAN WE JOIN FOR JUST ONE OR TWO HOURS?Yes. In fact, it is a gliding process. In North America alone, wehave three hours of time difference, ... this means our sessionscut through morning, lunch times, ... the only way we can han-dle this is that You Join As You Please. Also in the evening!

    SPEAKERSWe aim at having all our heroes also present as speakers.This, however, depends on a few factors: friendly teachers,conference schedules, even internet access - since our heroesare at work! And at school. Bouh. So, we are doing all we can.We definitely have excellent YL people present, including ourcaptain, Eric, who can tell you a bunch of things about all ourheroes' missions and fascinating stories.

    EXTRA SESSIONSWe also offer evening and week-end sessions. This way youhave options to join as class, ecoclub, or yourself. OKAY?

  • GABRIELLE POSARD

    watched her sister working on a documentary film when a message got stuckin her mind: 'A quarter of the U.S. Population experiences hunger, yet 40% foodproduced is wasted.' At 12 years of age, Gabrielle started talking to grocersabout donating food that was near its sell-by-date. To alleviate legal liabilityconcerns, Gabrielle explained that President Clinton signed into law the GoodSamaritan Food Donation Act, protecting donors. Response has been amazing,impacts immediate. Her network of 4,000 picks up and distributes 20,000 poundsof food every month. "Food drives used to consist of non-perishable foods, lowin nutrition. We get foods with short shelf lives like fresh fruits and vegetables.People are so grateful, they get choked up because fresh produce is so expen-sive." Her logo has spread throughout San Diego County. Is your City next?
