Transcript of YL at IYONS SUPPORT Call to PARTNERS
TO: YOU – ALLY IN POSITIVE CHANGEBerlin, 30 June, 2015
Dear friends and ally of the Change Generation,
I am writing to you today to win you as PARTNER
➔ for media coverage and long-term collaboration➔ for contributions to the Youth Delegate Emergency Travel Fund
on occasion of
IYONS World Summit of International Youth Organizationson 24-26 July in Chennai, India, uniting young changemakers under age 35 from 120+ nations for a United Nations style assembly focussed on sharing solutions and taking them forward, together,mentored by former „darling“ President of India Dr. Abdul Kalam, and child rights champion Nobel Peace Prize 2015 laureate Kailash Satyarthi and UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador Angelina Jolie.
As director of Global IYONS Partner YOUTH-LEADER I have assembled an unprecedented All-Star line-up of TEEN-AGE Changemakers to-date only booked as celebrity speaker of events.
These North American TEENS and European TWENS are so spectacular, with concrete life-, policy- and industry-changing solutions unachieved by adults but replicable by young people everywhere - that IYONS has adapted the program to include all of us + give prominent space with a Youth Camp at the main auditorium + 30 workshops + Earth Guardians concert + Skype bridges + documentary filming + pre- and post-event outreach to schools nationwide + presentations at prestigious Loyola college and Auroville. … WE NEED A TINY BIT OF HELP TO MAKE IT TRUE!
A WORLD PREMIERE IN MANY RESPECTS
Never before have these young Gandhis of today even shared a stage! And to maximize impact, global replication, and reach into education, I have ensured their omni-presence on all 3 days.
SPEAKERS TO THE GLOBAL ASSEMBLY
This time, 15 of them are assembled at one event. And for more than a speech!
YOUTH-LEADER CAMP - right at the MAIN AUDITORIUM !!
A visually prominent space, with
multimedia exhibit on youth leadership
interactive learning environment for school classes
more than 40 sessions, workshops and trainings
interacting with media, celebrities, film makers, politicians
connecting with 120 nations' finest young changemakers, youth networks and young United
Nations Associations representatives from 5 continents...
ONE WEEK INTENSIVE YOUTH-LEADER JAM WORKSHOP RETREAT
In the spirit of YES! Jams - one week long camps for world-leading twen changemakers - we unite these teens for a world-premiere week of meeting, bonding, sharing their solutions, forming alliances AND co-designing a leadership program for youth at schools - empowering student clubs to grow up taking monthly actions, implementing sustainability solutions with young and adult hero/ines of our time, aligned with United Nations Days.
CHANGE GENERATION RISING is designed as a cross-platform reality game starring the youth as hero/ines, with card game, boardgame elements, a web talkshow series and book, with a genuine change generation music soundtrack, fit for use a non-formal curriculum for units across the subject spectrum in 18 languages.
In short: AN UNPRECEDENTED GATHERING with game-changing follow-up impact, that is already being adapted as a model for changemaker events in other parts of the world.
THESE YOUTH HAVE INSPIRED MILLIONS.
NOW, THEY EQUIP THEIR GENERATION AT SCHOOL
TO EVOKE CHANGES JUST LIKE THEM – IN A THOUSAND PLACES IN THE WORLD.
And we would like to win you as a PARTNER for this exciting venture,
long-term, aligned with your priority focus
and also right now – for IYONS.
MAKING THE VERY MOST OF IYONS
The vision, scale, set up and speakers of IYONS
provide an attractive occasion to involve the changemaking community, globally,
We would like to involve you for
✗ media collaboration – interviews, articles, reader involvement
Our vision is to evolve this partnership with
✗ „live“ interactions with Youth Leaders on the UN Day of Youth in August
✗ articles and interviews, campaigns, projects and your ideas
✗ speaker and event collaboration
Right now, you can help us seize this opportunity to the max with
✗ emergency travel grants for your nation's delegate - $ 3,000 each incl their mom
✗ a grant for equipping the Youth Leader Camp - $ 1,000 +
… since some youth need EMERGENCY HELP for AIR TRAVEL to India,
We do not expect YOU to provide us this critical financial assistance, yet, as a strong force in the
changemaking arena, operating in a rich biotope of relations, we kindly ask your generous
assistance by sharing our request with philanthropic FRIENDS with a focus on evoking relevant,
important advances in youth leadership and education.
The youth and me are giving everything we can to build something grand and new for the future of
our planet, and we do receive tremendous positive feedback and demand from all sides – but – we
cannot do it alone. At this „start-up“ moment, we need some help, and we know of the enormous
win-win benefit potentials in our work, we strongly believe that we can make it by involving the
grand changemaking family.
Maybe you can help us with a swift miracle. Since swift we need to be.
A DREAM IS COMING TRUE
As founder of YOUTH-LEADER, and after ten years of UNITED NATIONS Decade of Education for
Sustainable Development, I am relieved to see YOUTH LEADERSHIP rise, and excited to see the
vision of connecting humanity's finest role models and model solutions with our global young
generation at school begin to manifest. It is urgently needed on grand scale!
The appreciation of hero/ine role models, social entrepreneurs and positive change media have
changed considerably over the past ten years. Education systems embrace youth leadership, We
Day, action on local and global issues have become part of learning culture in more than ten
thousand schools, led by youth and teachers passionate about positive change.
The solutions and support networks exist. We are going to see beautiful news in these coming
years, while the collapsing civilization will produce ever worse news beyond our worst nightmares.
There is no time to lose. Every day, we are losing 150 species. For no reason.
The future of all life on Earth and future generations, depend on the people alive right now.
At IYONS, we can lay a foundation for systemic change, and I hope that you will be involved to
make the most of it. Every boost is felt and welcome! I am attaching comprehensive documentation
on the exceptional work, and look forward to your response.
Warmly, for a GOOD future, Eric Nicolas Schneider,
IYONS Representative for Europe and North America | Images and Voices of Hope Award 2012UNESCO Round Table for the Implementation of the United Nations Decade of ESD.

As teens, our hero/ines are legally required to be accompanied by a chaperone – usually their MOM.
„A double airfare per speaker“ $3,000 can seem a lot, but it pays out, is more than worth it. They are
usually shuttled around domestically in North America at high cost, with accomodation etc. for little
effect but a speech. Our rich 3 day program with world-premieres galore and huge media and interna-
tional quality changemaker network interactions + concerts, college presentations + the retreat and YL
leadership program design workshop for 12 days in total are way beyond anything achieved to-date
and would cost more if organized in North America. On top, the MOMs are their power secretary assis-
tants, they are super precious, indispensable – and eager to experience such a camp retreat, as a
model for YL Summer Camps. It is totally worth the investment. THIS IS THE TIME. So, pitch in!
For European Delegates,
we only need 1,200€ per person
since we are old enough to travel on our own :)
Babar, in India, needs only $500.
The funds for Babar will go directly to him,
not via us, so we don#t get into trouble for
foreign investment to India.
Please help and contact us – we need to act
swiftly! THANK YOU for being part of IYONS!
