Boundary conditions

We will have nine sessions over three months, so be mindful of the scope of the vision you set for yourself. Focus on the process, not the outcome. Be realistic and hold yourself accountable!

Process Requirements

developing an intentional practice...

We invite you to define a practice you wish to nurture over the next 3 months. This should take the form of a purpose statement.

Some examples could be...

"I aspire to show up more authentically in my relationships”

“I aspire to be less controlled by my insecurities and anxieties”

“I aspire to find my role in climate activism”

“I aspire to contribute to a more generative social field in my classroom/school”

“I aspire to become more compassionate and inspire others to be compassionate”

weekly journaling...

You are expected to journal at least once a week, reflecting on how you and your project are developing. You will use these reflections to illustrate your personal Miro frame.

peer-to-peer learnings

You are expected to engage in all three peer-to-peer sessions, during which you will reflect on each other’s projects with a smaller group of peers from the Youth Council. 

inviting a third party...

Each member will invite an external person or community for feedback and perspectives on your personal development.

You can decide how and when to involve the person or community in your project. While this requires a bit of courage, we know that integrating what you are learning and practicing in the Youth Council with the world outside our bubble is essential. That is why we want you to inspire and be inspired by perspectives from your local community or someone with experience with the topic of your project.

If you need help or have questions, reach out to us!

Portfolio Requirements

You are expected to make weekly entries into your Miro frame, culminating in an online portfolio of your learning throughout the cycle. Be as creative as you like! Just remember that the purpose of the portfolio is not to make it as visually appealing as possible but to help us gain some insight into each other's learning journeys. So be as authentic as you dare to be! 

These reflections will inform the Share Your Journey activity we'll host at the last Youth Council session and at the Global Community Call. This isn't a formal presentation, rather it's a chance to be in conversation with your peers talking about the growth you've experienced and how it's shaping your future trajectory.
