Youth Collaborating for Compassion

A Global Online Open Space Gathering, 5th to 7th of December 2022
Six Online Sessions spread out over three days of Collaboration

What are the World’s Concerns?

Our world is in the throes of immense change, with many parts affected by crises, wars and societal fragmentation. Besides, the world has just come out of a global pandemic, which brought with it many more challenges. Wars and the climate crisis have also disrupted businesses and given rise to food shortages in many parts of the globe.

Workable examples of scalable solutions to overcome elements of these global challenges already exist.

But, like pieces of a scattered jigsaw puzzle, these elements need to be seen, and then brought together into a comprehensive whole, for lasting, positive change to happen.

Fortunately, there are many conscious and committed individuals like you around the world, who want to initiate wholesome change and make a difference. And we are all inspired by a vision that humanity can work together to co-create a world that is peaceful, just, abundant, and serves the needs of all.

How can we bring like-hearted people together so as to build the essential connections for these positive changes to occur?

How can we enable conversations to illuminate and appreciate the compassionate solutions that already exist?

Who Can Make a Difference?

The crucial element is You. You may be young or young at heart(YAH!), and if you are a conscious and committed individual, driven by abiding enthusiasm to make a difference for the better, you’re in!

Your youthful energy, curiosity, and ideas will play a crucial role in leading and sustaining the transformation to a more peaceful and compassionate world. If what you’ve read so far resonates with you, you are ready to be a part of the Youth Collaborating for Compassion (YCC) movement.

Who Will Facilitate/Assist Youth Collaborating for Compassion?

There are two organizations that are coming together to create a platform for YCC.

These organizations are, the Foundation for Peace and Compassionate Leadership, and the Charter For Compassion.

How Can I be a Part of Youth Collaborating for Compassion?

You can begin by joining us for a three-day Global Online Open Space Gathering this December. 

There is no cost to attend the Online Sessions. The gathering will be a series of discussions that will include youth from across the world sharing in conversations for compassionate action- for oneself, others, and the Environment. 

Spread out over three days there will be six sessions (2.5 hours each) that will hold space for  anyone to join in the discussion. See which time zone suits you best in the registration section. What is an Open Space Gathering? See more with the quick video below.

How OST Works?

YCC Open Space Gathering in December?

  • Scalable solutions that exist and have been successfully deployed
  • As a young person, prioritize and determine action projects that you are passionate about, and would like to work on to make a difference, and
