CREATINGVIBRANT & PERMANENT

PRESENCE OF YOUTH LEADERSHIPIN OUR SCHOOLS

Our aim as changemakers is to spread the spirit of change,to the point of permanent presence in everyday life, andconnect the people to pleasant changemaking action.

This is how we nurture the healthy spirit of cooperativecommunity, encompassing positive vision, concrete aimsand tangible solutions.

We know that the major factor in shaping human behaviourare role models (80%), and that their influence is subcon­cious. We also know that what inspires us so incredibly inYL videos are the people, and the energy radiating fromtheir ... faces, eyes and voices. This is an important reve­lation, and we play it to the fullest. We explain more aboutthis Magical Power of Role Models in 'Secrets'.

As a consequence,

the Foundation of our Clans Work is to- set up permanent presence at school- with many dynamic elements that ... inspire and involve a large variety of people ... make real impacts on real lives abroad and at home ... contribute to learning culture at our schools- develop fruitful cooperation with teachers- anchor 'changemaking' in schools through image change of passionate students, student-led activities like ecoclubs even curricula like the YL Warrior, good media presence.

This is how we nurture a Changemaking Climateand a 21st Century Learning Culture for millions of students.Anything else is poop.

THIS SECTION EXPLAINS HOW TO ACHIEVE IT.

Poster Exhibits & Wall Displayscreate public energy spaces

for presence, dialogue & community-building towards action

THE ULTIMATE TOOLare Poster Exhibits. They raise your entire community's attention,and offer many opportunities for sparking interaction.

HOW IT WORKSSetting up Exhibits is simple. Download, print, post. The magicthrives with bigger sizes, better places, pleasant lighting, multimedia,music, video screens with headsets, projections... and a table withpassionate heroes sharing infos, inspiring, involving and equippingpeople with instant opportunities for action, and tools; like onlinecampaigns, petitions, social experiments, missions, information forteachers etc. Now, it's a full scale Wall Display. Your BASE CAMP!

USE THIS SPACEfor opening local conversations about "What inspires, surprises youmost? What changes would you like to see in the world, in your life?"

THE BIG FAT MAGIC TRICK(a) is to set up an Exhibit - for example on a UN Theme Day, incl. presentations in class, webcast and missions, then to(b) collect positive feedback from your community, showing the value of your presence, offers and activities, finally to(c) follow up with new exhibits and activities the next month >> there is your permanent energy space at school! Next(d) tune cooperation with teachers for contributions in class, with ecoclubs and local organizations, founding a Clan, and(e) awesome monthly actions: webcasts, missions, social experiments

HUBs, ISLEs and InformalSustainability Learning

Environments

We'd like to give you knowledge of MODEL SOLUTIONS for BaseCamps. And we take it from the most evolved grown-up changemakernetworks. We say that young people can and should learn the sameway as the most awesome changemakers in the world. How elsecould we play our Base Camps to the fullest? Let's look at avantgardelearning environments of changemakers.

First of all, there's events. Those are crucial! for tasting the inspira­tional power of real heroes on stage, and the dynamic vibes of thechangemaking community. Once experienced, one can relate to thecommunity. Just like one good 'live' music concert tells it all.

And then, they surf on a constant wave of inspiration, knowledgeand networking using Online Media, mailing lists, newsletters, fb,twitter and webcasts. Just like we listen to all sorts of music :)

The real daily work then, 'jamming with other musicians', happenspreferably in dynamic environments of 'people with good ideas forthe world'. There's a name for this kind of co-working environments:"hubs" are the fastest growing co-working environment of socialentrepreneurs. http://the-hub.net. The approach is great. An Art ofHosting makes life and interaction pleasant. There's a lot of creativeaspects, reading room, a kitchen and turntables at the heart of it,and a constant stream of creative folks passing through. It offersinfrastructure for presentations, seminars and parties. Good stuff!

That's precisely the vibrant, communicative, idea-, community- andproject-generating environment your Base Camp should be like.

This makes it a fabulous LEARNING ENVIRONMENT, right?

That's your phenomenal point of argumentation with teachers andprincipals. It is also a challenge to You: to grow beyond an ordinarystudent hang-out. Far beyond! This is(1) for unfolding maximum impacts,(2) for advancing learning culture for coming student generationsBy evolving your Art of Hosting & Hub Culture, you learn to casuallymix fun, spirit, meaning and professionalism for your 50 years of(3) introducing this to lame environments in business, civil societyand politics. This is much needed. Practice it now. There is growingdemand for this. Your evolving YL skills may earn you a living,especially because most process facilitators today only know a fewapproaches, and are boring people, not heroes.(4) You can use it at big events that you will attend as YL Warriors.

Question: What is an Informal Learning Environment?Imagine Physical Education. Sports. Your gym hall is a learning environment. Dependingon the arrangement of tools, it serves different purpose: gymnastics, volleyball, muscletraining... In general, Phys. Ed. classes (and sports club training) is FORMAL. This meansthe coach tells your precisely what to do. Now think about a basketball court, outthere, in the park. There's guys going wild in street basketball. And this is where legendshave unfolded their skills. Especially black guys from poor neighbourhoods. They haven'tlearned their awesome skills, and especially their intuition! in class!! They have learnedit INFORMALLY, in self-organized play, even with specially agreed rules. After all, theydon't play 5 vs 5 on a huge court. Often, they have only one basket on a concrete court!Still, they learned to be awesome. Many African and Brazilian soccer stars learnedplaying barefoot, in the sand. In fact, this required special skills of ball handling. Andyou see how they serve them to fool players who grew up in formal environments.Wow! And then, in clubs, their skills were tuned to formal settings. Same thing: beaches.Beach volleyball. Or simply: hills and tree trunks ... where kids evolve "athletic skillsof running, jumping, health, social skills". With fun - and lifelong joy; different frommany negative effects of formal instruction and its turn-offs.

In brief: WE APPLY PROVEN EDUCATIONAL PRINCIPLES.

Question: ISLE = Informal Sustainability Learning Environment?An ISLE is where we learn to co-create a Sustainable Society. That's where we do thesame thing as awesome changemakers. That's why we use their tools and setting,practice their activities: HUBs, media, heroes, model solutions and taking action.

= THIS IS EXCELLENT EDUCATION FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT or LEARNING, and this may be even better.

Your Clan's Base Campmake it your home

make it awesome. make it fun= 'the no.1 hang-out' for warriors

You now set out to create the most advanced Learning Environmentfor a hundred miles and more. Make sure you make it awesome.We cannot emphasise this enough, since you may tend to compro­mise and make it boring. Why? Because you are at school, andusually, you are not allowed to do something cool, or don't daredoing something hot, because of dumb student bullies. Well, now,you're on a mission, you have to be awesome. Here's why you can:

By now, you know, that everything YL is great for learning.And so are you, as a role model. You know from the videos andsuccessful youth initiatives that the main reason for their successis - their positive spirit, determination and zero doubt. Therefore -if you copy or compromise to any boring, stiff behaviour of academics,teachers, administration or business, you are a fail. You'll be a boringbureaucrat, but not a changemaker, not part of positive change,not a hero. To unfold your high end genuine impact - be yourself.Be your most awesome self. Be passionate and free. If you are asilent elf, ok, be silent. If you are a wise owl observer, ok, be it. ButBE YOU. Also, be aware: an awesome world has beauty. So... don'tcreate a trashy environment of neglect. Create one you are proudabout - that can have high guests - elves and wizards. And the bestyouth around you.

In brief: Create the ISLE as a functional Environment that You Enjoy!The perfect space would be like an open lounge, in a central spacewell visible to people. It should have natural light. It could be likea lounge. It can have art, space for changing galleries, for fun, forthe senses, for people to leave 'their good idea for the world'. Andof course, it should be possible to host classes, for learning!

Thank you, Hermine.This is THE big fat magic spell. Gosh, apprentice reader, stop staring!It makes you look stupid. You can read it from the scroll, for now.

Your Wall DisplayElements

Okay,you know what makes a rocking Base Camp,and you'll come up with loads of ideas as you go along.

The universal challenge for youth and grown-up organi­zations in the past has been to provide a constant streamof media, inspiration and activities. It was impossible.From our perspective, because they acted alone, focussedonly on their narrow topic, and their nation.

Well, now there's YL. With loads, from around the globe- and this is very much needed! Because we get inspiredfrom people abroad. Because we care and interact withpeople abroad. And because All our countries are waybehind in ideas for change. By ourselves, each contry isprovincial. We need the global community.

That's how YL unfolds its superpowers :) and it's all in yourhands, you champ.

Our media and servicesprovide a lot of value. There's- posters- online campaigns and petitions- videos- monthly missions- fun social experiments- updates from clans and tribes around the globeand- webcasts- status and support

This provides you with a solid feed of materials, offersand activities throughout the entire month, and schoolyear. This means, your basics are covered. No doubt, youwill find all sorts of exciting things to add, such as:

Add- info on local activities, campaigns and organizations- dates of summer camps and workshops

Organize- Philanthro-Parties- Change Cinema sessions- Jam Sessions asking people about their interest for action

Offer- to contribute to class activities- to speak at schools- to speak at events

Building AlliancesNow, you know everythingabout your Base Camp, the Heart of your venture...

Next,is the time to build your connections with allies.

Your allies are- teachers interested in positive change, sustainability- organizations supportive of positive change& all passionate youth in your city

Inform them- about your missions- about the tools and media+ that they can join you, Clans & Tribes+ special opportunities, like 'live' YL Webcast meetings

But there's more.

One good journalist- who's been waiting for you to appear, as heroes, for placing 'taking action' in the media. Find him/her/themThere's conscientious doctors- who love to inspire their clients in waiting roomsThere's philanthropist business people- who enjoy seeing young social entrepreneurs thriveThere's a public library- with the mission to provide civic education

Say hi to them, offer them selected media, and invite themto support your ventures. Know your misions well, topropose specific investments tailored to their priorities.

There's a lot of potential allies in your city. On many levels.Some as partners. Some as audience. Some as supporters.

But since you are bringing in rocking innovation,you may soon enough find yourself in a position ofsetting impulses and others reacting - joining the game.

Don't be shy.And don't hurry, either. Patience. Simply

Take your Missions.As you climb levels, you will naturally get in touch with moreand more people on different levels, and be able to join, cola­borate and contribute on the required level.

Keeping track of your Partner Network is very precious.These are the places to reach loads of people whenever- putting up posters advertizing (your) upcoming (YL) actions- sending messages via their newsletters.

Your Network Map should have all schools, youth clubs, and allsorts of organizations. Also administration, church groups, and!!!distribution places for YL media, like cafes, companies, doctors...

Acting in Public SpaceWhat is the big thing about

Good & Beautiful Actions in Public?

They make great media images.They reach a lot of people, which generates- demand for speaking at schools- interest from passionate youth to join- support from organizations and donors

News media are usually boring. And negative.By being your awesome self"Giving all that we are,on behalf of everything we love,"you have a good chance to enrich the public sphere,so people are happy to see you,to get inspired, involved and support your causes

Our "Take Action" Tipsunder articles, in mission packs etc offer a lot of goodideas. Often, they have elements of spontaneous walk acttheatre, some little costume or action. They are verysimple. Just like Free Hugs are simple, and legend!www.youtube.com/watch?v=vr3x_RRJdd4

Lulu & her LemonAID Warrior Tribeis great inspiration for fun public action.How about a Hub at the local farmer market?You have tons of content and methods. Just put on yourcobold grin and make the city is your playground. Enjoy!

ALWAYS THINK: WHAT CAN MAKE GREAT IMAGES TODAY?+ IN EVERY ARTICLE, TELL PEOPLE WHO TO JOIN, HOW TOSUPPORT AND WHAT OFFERS YOU HAVE FOR THEM.= YOU ARE ACTION & INSPIRATION

Working well with the MediaYou are Heroes

You do heroic things that people loveThat's the media's best contents

Let's produce rich imageryand powerful articles

Once again: inspirational video clips live from:- genuine changemaker spirit- shining faces- in action

Conventional journalists and apprentices are- not skilled or trained in it (they lack hero passion)- don't have the space to create such lush pieces, so...

We need to help them and SHAPE our media:

- be awesome, authentic, passionate and inspirational- speak your heart = strong quotes for them to write- shine into the camera+ provide them *your own* great photos in high resolution+ always link 'for more' to your website & facebook streams

We can make headlines in national media, create our ownyoutube clips, our own interviews, go live on radio andtelevision, and make Public Service Announcements inmovie theatres. It's all happening. In Canada, the US,throughout South America, Europe, Australia, Africa andAsia. We've even been to Antarctica.

THE PERFECTFACEBOOKSTREAMEmma and Julia spend a lot ofheart and time on their actions- from early morning, beforeschool until late, when theirawesome (she is!) Mum tellsthem to go to bed. They getdays off from school, they investtheir own money, spend practi­cally every week-end voluntee­ring, from shore clean-ups toelderly homes and homelessshelters.

And on top of all this,they spend a lot of heart andtime on their facebook stream,telling the world and their fri­ends - which includes dozens ofschools, communities, theirsupporters, donors, partnercompanies, airways and mediahow great their impacts are,how beautiful the people andhow grateful themselves.

Their spirit shows.

We can create our own music videos, and speak at internationalUnited Nations summits.

We can even challenge the Mouth of Sauron, score live debates ontelevision - and inspire a national audience for what matters.

We can show ultimate determination in standing up for peace andthe people we love, and show our true gentle beauty, as well.

That's Youth Warrior Power in the Mediaand we have only started...

We look at article writing

LIKE at the composition of the awesome 2-7 min clips anddocumentary films of your Video Collection.Those make us 'literally' feel like being there, with theheroes, and they uplift us towards

"It makes me feelI want to get up and do something, too."

We can convey this spirit through writingand still images - if we know ... the tricks.

But, we emphasise once more,conventional journalists and communications people donot know how to do it. The ones who do are genuinechangemakers themselves.

This means -you as a passionate YL Warriors may have the spirit to doit, and can definitely unfold your impact manifoldby learning the skills. We have trained hundreds of youngpeople around the globe in these skills.

This topic will cross your path in our media, and actionkits. Curious Cats can find out more in 'Secrets'.

That's been magic wands, spells and strategies galore.

Already, you have receivedglimpses of a magic behind this.
