Native and Indigenous communities across the country are leading a resistance movement focused on climate change, decolonization, and cultural appropriation. In celebration of Earth Week, the Tishman Environment and Design Center at The New School invites you to join Native and Indigenous artists, activists, and thought leaders underscoring the value of traditional ecological knowledge and the necessity of transcending the imposed boundaries of thought, borders, and mediums as we advance socially just approaches to environmental issues.
Expand The Box is a safe and astonishing 3-day learning environment for upgrading traditional thinking and behaviors.
Without our knowing how, the standard thinking and behavior patterns we adopted from our parents, our culture and our education system severely limit both the quality of our relationships and our ability to respond creatively to the opportunities and challenges of life. Expand The Box installs swinging doors through walls that previously appeared to be impenetrable.
To enlarge the team of planet Earth, Gaia is looking for evolutionaries working in full self-responsibility and on a freelance basis in different departments (e.g. cultural evolution, regeneration and conservation of flora and fauna, sustainable energy production, evolution of the economy, enlivening soils, upgrading human thoughtware, etc.)
– Are you willing to put your talents in service of something bigger than yourself?
– Are you ready to take radical responsibility for everything you do and don‘t do?
– Are you willing to leave your comfort zone and explore the unknown?
A growing team of extraordinary, inspired, and like-minded people with a strong vision of what is possible who lead a purposeful life, being their destiny in action and creating a future where all living beings can live harmoniously on planet Earth instead of merely surviving. If you are interested to meet with your team-colleagues, join us at the UnConference. We are looking forward to creatively collaborating with you!

In celebration of the International Youth Day, the President of International Federation for Peace & Sustainable Development, Mrs. Sally Kader requests the pleasure of your company at our side event panel discussion on creating safe spaces for youth empowerment on August 13th, 2018 at the United Nations Headquarters in New York, NY.
Topic: S.P.A.C.E for Youth: Safe Place to Actively Collaborate and Engage for Youth
Date: August 13th, 2018
Time: 1:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m.
Location: Conference Room 8, United Nations Headquarters, NY 10017
Young people constitute the majority for the world’s population today. In 2015, a global figure of 1.2 billion aged 15-24 accounted for one in every six people worldwide. However, nearly 535 million of children are living in harsh conditions, lacking access to decent health, education and protection services. Discrimination based on religion, race, disability, age and gender, high unemployment rates and lack of opportunities are also some of the adversities that the youth need to overcome. In face of such hardship, what is much needed for youth to become activists who can change the world into a place free of hunger, inequality and violence is a safe space where their voices are heard.
Our event will feature a prominent panel of speakers including youth leaders, ambassadors, ministers and other experts in the field of youth and social development speaking from their expertise and personal experience. The speakers will shed light on effective methods to create safe spaces for youth for their empowerment through government policies.
At IFPSD, we are deeply committed to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which necessitates the empowerment and inclusion of youth in the development plan, and we hold events to celebrate the International Youth Day annually. The panel discussion aims to take a step forward towards the realization of sustainable peace, stability, human rights and effective governance, with the collective voice of youth better heard. Please join us at our event on August 13th at the United Nations.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Attendance is open to all delegates, diplomats, government officials and civil society representatives including students with a valid UN Pass. Feel free to forward to interested colleagues. For Non-UN Ground Pass Holders, you must RSVP and bring your valid government ID when you pick up your UN pass. Once you RSVP we will send you further instructions via email regarding where you can pick up your UN Grounds Pass.

As Elders, we will explore, decide, and act:
Seeing with new eyes- what really is happening to our Earth home.
Claiming our roles as Elders and our interconnection to all life.
Examining and choosing the ways we are called to act for our Earth home.
Come join a deep examination of our elderhood and our needed, pivotal role in restoring the life-sustaining legacy for our grandchildren, future generations, and all life. We will explore our passions and skills to effect change and to build relationships for a thriving future.
Be an Elder Standing for Earth and Humanity!
Morning Session
Through interactive processes from the Work that Reconnects, we will explore together how to reclaim our Elders’ moral voice — the voice that speaks for the welfare of all — protecting our grandchildren, restoring Mother Earth, and regenerating a flourishing world. We will have opportunities for truth-telling about the state of our world and the pain and gratitude we feel on its behalf. We will provide particular focus on the unjust effects on communities most at risk from climate chaos and on our planetary life support systems. And we’ll share our dreams of transforming our society towards health, justice, peace, and cooperation.
Lunch Hour
Lunch will be provided. This hour will feature a celebration of our diversity.
Afternoon Session
We will summarize the reality of our changing climate and the positive solutions available to combat this threat to all life. We will hear from Elders who have developed successful community organizing methods that we can adopt. We will divide into small groups by interest and region (a) to address climate action, social justice, intergenerational collaboration, or other themes that may arise; and (b) to create action plans for going forth. We will come together to report on these plans and our commitments thereof.
We will end by celebrating our elderhood and the restorative roles we have chosen.

This powerful film serves as a warning sign of the impending threat of escalating regional war in the Middle East. With the increasing number of U.S. military bases and direct U.S. military involvement in the region, it is clear that our governmental officials as well as the public are not sufficiently informed in regards to the dynamics of the conflicts in the region. Enemies of Peace shines a spotlight on the instigators, aggressors and funders of these catastrophic wars as well as their motives. Featuring some of the most renowned scholars, journalists and activists on the subject, Enemies of Peace offers insights and solutions not often expressed by the mainstream media and serves to empower activists in helping to bring the principles of peace, justice, cooperation and diplomacy back into politics, international relations and the collective consciousness.

In cooperation with the WE-Energime-Global Cooperation Turtle Island International Civil Society Organization and in support of peaceful interfaith dialogue, especially in light of Laudato Si, the recent message from Pope Francis on “Care for Mother Earth”, Drawdown Markham will be assisting Global Cooperation Day (GCD, New Zealand) to Celebrate the 800 year Anniversary (in 2019) of the meeting between Saint Francis of Assisi and Sultan Al Kamil in the year 1219 by planting a *Commemorative Tree of Peace* on a property in the East end of Markham (Locust Hill) on Sunday, September 15th.
This event is being done in support of the DD Markham CCAH Collaborative Exchange Project (CEP) and the “Spark for Humanity” project by We Are Mother Earth!
