StS Mission

Wed, Jul 14th, 2021 Kerry: # Mission: We save (support?) humanity by empowering young people with the tools and support they need to create lasting systemic change in their local community.

Thu, Jul 15th, 2021 Kerry: # Vision:

We achieve our mission by designing and delivering See the Systems experiences for groups of young people in a community.

See the systems experiences are based on local community system change projects. - Participants organize into teams to identify issues/opportunities for improvement in their neighborhood. - The team maps the system, identifies leverage points within it (root cause interventions). - The team designs and implements a project (an experiment) to test their idea and measure the impact.

Teams will be supported by mentors. See Mentor Role Description.

A network of teams will enable knowledge sharing across the StS network. This will inspire teams to experiment with other projects /interventions tried and proven in other communities. (NB This is Nestle Project Globe re-enacted for communities).

We will provide recognition/awards for quality of projects and we aim to build recognition of the value of that recognition.
