NEW MEMBERS for ths YOUTH COUNCIL
The Youth Council is a student ambassador community that seeks to grow, collaborate, innovate, and dive deep into the Compassionate Systems Framework.
The Youth Council is a community for student ambassadors and a trained group of 12-18 year old students that meets biweekly. They are shaping a future movement of Compassionate Systems student ambassadors and compassionate practitioners who are better able to respond to addressing complex social challenges.
“The compassionate systems have really changed how I think (...) It has become a habit to look below the surface and look deeper” (Caitlyn)
The Youth Council is a community for student ambassadors and a trained group of 12-18 year old students that meets biweekly. They are shaping a future movement of Compassionate Systems student ambassadors and compassionate practitioners who are better able to respond to addressing complex social challenges.
As the Compassionate System Framework continues to inspire practitioners worldwide, we at the Center for Systems Awareness wanted to create a space where student ambassadors could connect across countries. Fostering students - the key individual and the educational system's primary beneficiaries - to take compassionate action and remind actors in the field of education to include these vital perspectives in the decision-making processes is integral to our vision.
# the youth knows what the youth needs
We at the Center engage with youth as equal partners and change agents as any other stakeholders in our community of practitioners. Thus youth are part of essential activities such as attending introductory workshops, engaging in research design, attending global community calls, being involved in strategic developments, sharing social media, and much more.
Working closely with the Youth Council, a group of young, Compassionate Systems practitioners and emerging leaders, is a privilege. Listening to their perspectives and vivid stories continues to be a profound and meaningful experience, and it offers our community a young, global, and compassionate perspective on complex social challenges.
