Hi Chris, I was attempting to understand what you are asking about and I realized I did not understand. I would appreciate you clarifying some of what you have written. -if you are saying only global youth can mobilize on these issues if sustainability is to be our future, do you want intergenerational participation and if so, why? I ask this to attempt to understand who you would be inviting as you sort out 'whoever comes are the right people' -why is the goal to create something to do with a sustainable future? Is this not too low a bar? I ask this to attempt to understand a theme if you used OST.
