Community Meet-Ups
Connecting, & growing with one another

Local Community Meet-ups
YouthxYouth is progressively opening local chapters across the world for youth education activists to be able to meet in person to be in community, discuss their unique local challenges and efforts to influence education systems, and potentially collaborate with one another.
Global Community Meet-ups
Once a month, on the last sunday of every month, we gather as a community around a theme to continue learning, connecting, & growing with one another.
YxY Chapters are youth-led “glocal” (global x local) action circles who convene regularly to:
Every YxY Chapter co-designs what their local objectives & campaigns are and tailor their approach to their local needs and context. They are supported by our curriculum and learning process and benefit from being in a global group practicing mutual support and solidarity. This global connectedness enables our global youth community to be ready to amplify each other’s voices. Through the creation of locally-anchored & globally-connected Chapters, we can both address our unique local challenges while being part of a global movement for the transformation of education for collective liberation.
Discuss & deepen their collective and self-understanding of WHAT IS

The dominant education system is designed to serve our economies and an ideology of perpetual growth that is harming our planet and ourselves. The main function of education systems is to supply the economy with the next generation of workers, NOT to serve people or planet. The exploitative nature of schools creates an attitude of disrespect and exploitation of the planet.
Inspire & uplift one another to reimagine WHAT IF and reclaim their education
The social fractures we are witnessing today, from climate change to growing inequalities, are a direct result of the way we have designed our education. We are not educated to care about our wellbeing, the wellbeing of others, or the wellbeing of our planet. Instead, we are taught to ruthlessly compete for notions of “personal success” over collective wellbeing.

Ask WHAT NOW & take action with their local communities to address real challenges
The dominant education system is rooted in colonial ideology promoting limited ways of knowing and being. Historically, the “factory school model” was implemented in colonized countries to erase indigenous cultures and control populations. To this day, the use of curricula, grades, and tests, promote a worldview of “one truth” and instill the belief that only the dominant paradigm is valid.
