	Hi Cam well done for really getting things going!!! I am happy to do the Fact sheet for fashion production, and I will give you a summary of where my PhD research is at before I leave... but possible not before you do! Will aim for next week. I will have to leave the article rewrite I was doing for Dolly mag til when I get back Jan 07', but I will be very keen to get very busy with PhD and otherwise tasks. I am moving back from my studio to the Uni for what I think will be a very busy and productive year Hope your trip preparations are going well... mine are all consuming and mental! best of luck -Kate From: "Cameron Neil" Reply-To: ySC-Discussion (at) groups.takingitglobal.orgTo: "" Subject: [YSC-Discussion] Creating Sustainability Action Briefs!Date: 28 Sep 2006 15:42:05 -0000>hi everyone>>the project is really getting going in the ACT - tomorrow we have the>first Train the Trainer session, to be followed by two youth>workshops in November and December!>>we have a meeting with manningham city council in early november to>progress the project there.>>and then once we have these two sites bedded down, we'll be looking>for new communities in early 2007.>>so very soon we'll have youth networks getting going, trainers out>there, and young people taking action on sustainability in their>communities!>>to assist with this process, and to provide more content for the>youth workshops, WE WANT YOUR HELP to create a number of 'Action>Briefs' on different consumption items and activities.>>here is an example one - which also serves as a template for all the>others!>>http://files.tiggroups.org/36177/Fashion-Consumption-Fact-sheet-v1->20060809.doc>>this one was done up by kate pears dealing with fashion consumption.>>others we want created - we would love for you to volunteer for>one!!! you can use this group to help develop the content ...>>* green parenting - lisa ryan is doing this>>* home production - daniel donahoo is doing this>>* mobile phones>>* fashion production>>* converting your canteen / office to fair trade>>* waste reduction in your classroom / office>>* transport>>* entertainment>>* food>>* computers>>* mp3 players>>* culture jamming>>* media>>* economic incentives>>* careers>>essentially we want to focus on sustainability implications of>various categories of youth expenditure and activities, and what can>be done to do it more sustainably.>>if you have particular passion or expertise, it would be great if you>could take it up!>>let us know.>>after a few weeks, we might put the call out wider to other networks>for them to contribute, but i'd prefer to have you folk, as working>group members, haviing a shot.>>cameron>>++++++++++++++++++++++++++>Join the International Young Professionals Foundation>http://www.iypf.org/membership.htm>++++++++++++++++++++++++++>International Young Professionals Foundation>Cameron Neil Chief Executive Officer>0402 072 452 cameronneil (at) iypf.org>www.iyps.org www.iypf.org>http://profiles.takingitglobal.org/cjneil>http://updates.takingitglobal.org/read/cjneil>++++++++++++++++++++++++++>"if you want to build a ship, don't gather your people and>ask them to provide wood, prepare tools, assign tasks...>Just call them together and raise in their minds a longing>for the endless sea." -Antoine de Saint-Exupery>>>>- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ->>+++++++>IYPF Y&SC Working Group>http://www.iypf.org/IYPF-projects.htm#YouthSC>>Project Blog>http://www.tigblog.org/group/otherwise>++++++>>------------------------------------------->>* Powered By TIG Groups http://groups.takingitglobal.org/>* Group Archives: http://groups.takingitglobal.org/ySC-Discussion/messages/>* To unsubscribe, email ySC-Discussion-unsubscribe (at) groups.takingitglobal.org>* My subscription settings, ySC-Discussion-settings (at) groups.takingitglobal.org>
