QUICK FACTS Youth Leadership means „recognizing and training children and teens as change agents in their communities“. This goes beyond service-learning. Youth Leaders today achieve things like these: Xiuhtezcatl (15, COLORADO) mobilizes young and old for protecting the Earth and climate for our children, reani-mates the sacred warrior values among indigenous youth. His speeches at Bioneers conference and the high level event on climate change at the United Nations are being called the defining speeches of his generation, are going viral in many languages. Robyn (13, ONTARIO) has made 27 city councils pass the 3-pronged „Blue Community“ resolution: keeping water public, making it a human right and banning bottled water. Rhiannon and Madi (16, MICHIGAN) made Girl Scouts, Kellogg's and Wilmar adopt sustainable palm oil policies. Avalon (14, FLORIDA) teaches climate, habitat, species protection through planet-friendly diet. Cassandra (15, RHODE ISLAND) has 150 restaurants recycle grease to biofuel, making $150,000 for social causes. Emma and Julia (15, ONTARIO) have raised 77,000 books for 49 aboriginal communities, healing historic cultu-ral divides. Gabrielle (16, CALIFORNIA) has raised free, fresh foods for food banks by ten times, has 4,000 volunteers. There's more, and their solutions can be replicated by young people everywhere!
WHAT WE ARE DOING - TOGETHER YOUTH-LEADER unites dozens of youth leaders with replicable model solutions under one banner to bring their uplifting stories, role model, solutions and support to our global young generation at school – through print, digital and online media in 18 languages, teaching tools, methods and services, such as „Live on Skype“ meetings, webcasts on UN Days, YL student club comunity and collaboration with visionary adult changemakers and experts. Our leadership program „Change Generation Rising“ empowers young people to grow up implementing sustainability solutions with the hero/ines of our time, with community and cross-platform reality game features, value for their CVs and personal futures, and even fit for use as non-formal curriculum across subjects and units. The solutions for peace, sustainability and abundance for all exist, and the good new world we all envisage is already happening around these changemakers. Together, we can take it everywhere.
IYONS is a unique opportunity for our most oustanding youth to meet for the first time ever + speak to a global audience of the BEST changemakers under age 35 from 140 nations (!!), connect with Indian decision-makers determined to advance their society, learning culture, citizen- and social entrepreneurship + to experience one another in action + spend an entire week of immersing themselves in YOUTH-LEADER, to wield the media, methods and services to the fullest, best involve their networks and mobilize schools in their sphere of influence. NO one before has brought this caliber of youth together in one place, NO one has united them for delivering a leadership program for nonformal use in schools, and NO one has brought such multiplier networks into position for connecting humanity's finest changemakers and sustainability solutions with the young generation. WE CAN DO ALL OF IT on this occasion. A 12 day gathering in N. America would not be cheaper. Here, we have 140 nations, school presentations, concerts for activating a country of 1 billion. Chip in!
