[OSList] Fwd: who are the right people

Mon Jun 13 12:48:47 PDT 2016

Thanks for your answers Chris. I can see that good tips and suggestions are
already coming forward.
I don't want to assume you have this information. My work is often with
international development agencies and this information is very important
to their priorities. It is the United Nations 15 year plan focusing on
sustainability issues
http://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/sustainable-development-goals/. I
trust that if you research, you will find allies and strategists that you
can link with to accomplish your own vision of what is possible.

If you forge ahead to reach young people, and if your interest is global in
perspective, the agencies I have worked with found that of all of the
methods they have employed to accomplish community mobilization on
significant health and social factors, reaching out through texting had the
greatest impact. As a follow up to texting mobilization efforts, for some
situations, people like us with participatory methods get engaged to
facilitate a face to face gathering for those who can attend.

Warmly,
Birgitt
