Goals

  • Thousands of individual actions toward sustainability
  • 3,000 young people inspired and empowered by message of sustainability
  • 30 Eco-leaders trained and supported
  • Increased understanding of sustainability and underlying issues
  • Youth engagement and a different way of thinking about our problems

Overview

Train 30 AIESEC students to become Eco-leaders who will tap into their networks, each reaching 100 people by facilitating discussions, doing presentations and generally sharing information about sustainability.  This will lead each participant to commit to 1 tangible action toward sustainability and start a deeper shift in how people see the world around them which will have these outcomes:

  • Shift paradigms: Eco-leaders’ presentations will highlight the underlying causes of un-sustainability, liberating their audiences to radically re-think their own relationship with the world around them
  • Impart information: What is sustainability, why is it important, what is the basis of our current crises?
  • Become a community resource: Eco-leaders will become the go-to person in their community for sustainability information
  • Catalyze participants to make one tangible commitment before leaving the follow up sessions
