Наши молодежные программы включают стипендии, микрогранты, обучение СМИ, наставничество, видение, коучинг, развитие лидерских качеств, повышение профессиональных навыков, вебинары, сетевые мероприятия, семинары, партнерские отношения с сообществом, а также доступ к ресурсам и отношениям для руководства и поддержания эффективных кампаний и проектов. Флагманским событием инициативы "Новые лидеры" является молодежная премия Брауэра http://www.broweryouthawards.org/awardees/, которая присуждается выдающимся молодежным лидерам, добивающимся успехов в экологическом движении. Церемония вручения национальной премии проводится инициативой "Новые лидеры" и представлена Институтом острова Земли. Молодежная премия Брауэра была присуждена 135 выдающимся молодым лидерам, представляющим достижения по всему спектру экологического движения. Каждый год шесть молодых людей, проживающих в Северной Америке, получают денежную премию в размере 3000 долларов каждый. В ночь церемонии награждения вдохновляющие истории победителей рассказываются в коротких документальных видеороликах. http://www.broweryouthawards.org/about/

Justice work, which is rooted in connection, is the work of world building.

News of the world environment  NEWSLETTER | OCTOBER 21, 2022 Constructive Action Each year, Earth Island Institute, which publishes the Journal, honors upcoming leaders in environmental activism through its Brower Youth Awards. On Tuesday, I was lucky enough to attend the awards ceremony for this year’s six activists, held in Berkeley, California, where Earth Island is headquartered. This was the first live BYA ceremony since the pandemic, so the small theater in which it was held — the Freight & Salvage — was abuzz with the energy of both an awards program and a reunion, as people danced to music, hugged, smiled and gave raucous rounds of standing ovations. Each youth leader is inspiring in their own way, and you can read more about them here.   What struck me most is that their projects are both manageable and inspirational at once. Take for example the work of Raghav Kalyanaraman. His project, Eagles for the Environment, restores prairie ecosystems in north Texas. This requires intensive labor, including the painstaking raking of non-native grass litter so that native seeds can be planted. It is ecologically important work, as prairies sequester more carbon dioxide than forest do. — but it is also important community work, undertaken acre by acre by a small group of dedicated people.   This is the kind of work we should all undertake, inside the knowledge of interdependence and interconnection. I have been reading Ruha Benjamin’s Viral Justice: How We Grow the World We Want, which urges us to “foster a deep-rooted interdependence, not as some cheery platitude, but as a guiding ethos for regenerating life on this planet.” Justice work, Benjamin says, is rooted in connection, “not just to other living things, but to those yet born.” It is the work of world building.   The Brower Youth Award winners are engaged exactly this kind of work. This construction in action builds from one person to the next, one project to the next. These projects then start to interlock, to rebuild the world. We need more of it, and we need everyone to take part in it. I would encourage each of you this week to take a look at your backyard, your neighborhood, your community, and find a place to build something, or restore something, or simply to pitch in where something is being built. The right ethos starts there, and, as any of these young leaders will tell you, it matters.
