Hey Folks

Last week was very exciting, as the first week of the YouthPolitik program took place and was a resounding success. I am especially proud, because it was for this week that I, as a TakingITGlobal representative, had the opportunity to help design the Youth Politik sessions on Urban Sustainability.

It was a lot of fun - we had 60 highschool-age youth calculating out their ecological footprints, and then we had an open forum discussion on that acitvity. Then we (the City of Vancouver sustainability office team and I) broke up the groups into mini-groups which brainstormed different ways (both individually and as a society) that we could reduce our ecological footprints. It was a lot of fun, and a great start to the Youth Politik experience.

In April, we will start the activation phase, which is great because that's when we will use both the guides to action and tig project pages to have the youth begin their own project proposals. I can't wait!
