Yesterday, a friend of mine launched a project that he has been working on for awhile now. The project is a youth-led movement launched before the 10th anniversary of 9-11 to create a better world by 2021, and it's called Be2021.
| We will build a youth-led movement to create a better world by 2021 (the 20th anniversary of 9/11) by launching a campaign around the 10th anniversary that will empower young people to not only envision what that world should be, but act to make that world a reality. |
They are asking youth to declare their vision. There is also an art contest where those who wish to can submit an artwork showcasing what their vision looks like.
| Be2021 is a campaign of Americans for Informed Democracy, a national student organization empowering young people across the US to exercise their power to bring about a peaceful, healthy, just and sustainable world. We do this by educating, cultivating and mobilizing a network of young people in the US to take informed action around our individual and collective roles as global citizens. |
It seems like a pretty neat movement to me, and I'm interested to see where it heads. I hope you all check it out |
