I can see that good tips and suggestions are already coming forward.<div>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 <a href="http://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/sustainable-development-goals/" target="_blank">http://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/sustainable-development-goals/</a>. 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.</div><div><br></div><div>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.</div><div><br></div><div>Warmly,</div><div>Birgitt</div></div><div dir="ltr"><div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Sun, Jun 12, 2016 at 7:35 PM christopher macrae <<a
