Seeking advice: mixing youth & adults at OS + video

Like Chris, I have opened the space for youth and adults many times,  in
multi-racial settings,  in 600 person church organizations, in schools
working on violence issues, in an alternative elementary school fighting for
its life among others.  It can work extremely well.  Some youth take
leadership and find it exhilarating.  Others may stay back for the first
round as they are not used to taking responsibility for their ideas (some
adults are the same).  This is where evening news can be critical in hearing
peoples concerns and frustrations and shifting them into the challenge to
take leadership and responsibility the next morning by putting up topics.
That has worked every time for me.
