Youth Leadership
Our youth leadership initiative is supported by Doug Cohen, Chair, Resource Council – National Youth Initiatives and the Inspired Futures Campaign of the U.S. Partnership for Sustainable Development, and founder of The Leadership Center. Doug writes:
The Inspired Futures Campaign – InterGenerational Partnerships for Livable Futures is the Youth Leadership development effort of the US Partnership. It is the US NGO, non-profit arm of the UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development.
There is a useful introductory and core idea that has been proposed, that one definition of Sustainability is:
The lifelong, mutually beneficial ‘Conversation between the Generations’ is Sustainability.
YOU ARE INVITED, YOU ARE WELCOME
This campaign consists of a number of core initiatives and activities: Mounting ‘Youth Voice’ Delegations and speakers to local, regional and global conferences; supporting the leadership capacity and skills of youth as project members, leaders and founders of efforts, and ‘doers’ who bring sustainability initiatives alive in communities; a support network for resource sharing, creative ‘solutions seeking’ and a web of fellowship and dialogue that nurtures both the skills and spirit of its members through deep mutual regard.
