These are fine for Print Out and posting as WALL NEWSPAPER display in School Hallways, Youth Centres and Public Spaces.

If you have found value in our Special Edition on Water, you can print it out, and publish it as a Wall Newspaper Display in school hallways and other public spaces.

You can contact us, so we can support you in presenting this to you teacher or school principal.

We call this SPACE an Informal Sustainability Learning Environment ISLE. This way, cheap and simple, one edition reaches the entire school community! ISn't this a great way to get the message out?

But there is more in this. This space can serve as a Positive News Board, where you and all other engaged change-maker youth can add information - on other issues, and also on your own and other good groups' activities in your region! Normally, their information or posters may not fit into school - but in the context of our UN Decade ISLE - they do.

You can even make it a Digital ISLE, by adding an internet-connected computer. You can then access our website Humanity4.org and to Noticias Positivas Radio for more insights and examples from the world of positive change and sustainability: information, media, communities, exercise global citizenship by adding your voice to global online campaigns and more.

We think this is part of a New Learning Culture, helping introduce this important, active learning into schools, as long as schools are not abale to provide it as part of "formal" learning in the classroom - which they maybe - never will.

EACH ONE DO ONE.
Imagine each reader would post one in their school.
It would be easy, and a massive impact on getting the message out, and amplifying local awareness, community-building and action. Not only for Water. but on any positive change issue!

If you want to do this, please tell us about it. First of all, we would like to know about the experiences you make, and how this works out in the place you publish it. Also, we may have other things that you and others may be interested to use and connect with.

Databases with thousands of great projects exist. But mostly unknown somewhere on the internet. Only with short texts and no pictures. We are trying to change this - to make the World of Positive Change-making visible to you!

Maybe, you are already part of this global movement? or maybe, you feel - this is what you want to join!

it does not take much to become part of the solution. Lifestyle is the basic start. Every endeavour starts with one small step. And in every beginning lies a lot of excitement! At times, it can feel like walking up a steep mountain in a storm. But every little step closer to the top is stronger than the strongest storm.

'When many little people take many little steps in many little places, they can change the world!' Barbara Rütting

Most big organisations started very small. But it does not take an organisation to change the world for the better. Individuals can achieve a lot, too, when they have a strong vision for solving a social ill.

Have a look here - you will be amazed what challenges people are taking on ~ and achieving! Enjoy!

Positive News are about success stories and inspiring people, who are showing the way how to engage for creating the better world we aspire to. They give positive change and sustainabilty 'Living Faces, Living Voices and Living Hands' - for action! - since all these are examples that you can follow, join, learn from - find inspiration and courage to realise your own.

Welcome to the world of positive change-making!

But there is much more in here than success stories.

We are providing you insights to the Bigger Picture behind Water. High level Reports. Views from experts with outstanding experience and reputation, whose counsel is sought within the United Nations, governments and organisations.

We think you should know just as much as them, about the world you live in, since it is part of our common future, and you are to shape it.

You will discover more than you can imagine.
Maybe, even - that You are needed.

You live in a time of consequences. It is your generation that will decide each day on where the future is heading. Which planet the many generations to come will inherit.

This is not exaggerated. It is not blackpainting. It is looking at the very facts that the top decision-makers in the UN and governments all know about. It is why thousands of organisations are working very hard each day. It is why millions of people are suffering and several states are starting to think about how to avoid breakdown in the near future. Twenty years is not a long time.

It is the reason behind many global summits, and for investment tips into water - the new, 'blue gold'. It is why corporations invest and envisage billions in new markets. New markets depending on a specific change in the world : The loss of Water as a cheap commodity.
Understanding this, you will realise that the water crisis is not a fantasy. By the simple ABC of buying and selling, this means - if some make a lot of money from water, others will have to pay dearly for it. That's where the money comes from!

But is water something that some people or groups can take, possess and sell for the profit fun of a few? Or - are the atmosphere, the air we breathe, water, the oceans, forests, the earth, species... rather Global Commons - that belong to no one, may be shared by all - very carefully, responsibly? Is access to them a basic human right? Are there human duties? For people living by the compass of religion - what would their founders say? Is the destruction of the global commons a crime against humanity?

The more you learn about the world you live in, the more you may start feeling about it. What kind of future you prefer. And what your role is in it. Are you part of the problem or part of the solution?

We have practically all grown up in unsustainable societies, woith a defunct operating system behind our actions. If we want a global, peaceful, just and sustainable civilisation, it is on everyone to create it. Such a society can only! be made up of Fair Global Citizens... - if you want to be part of it, - you will need to 'upgrade yourself'. This is a challenging, adventurous exciting and beautiful journey. You can get a taste of it when looking at the spirit of the people engaged in positive change, throughout the edition, and finally - 'Yes'! Take note that their guiding principle is not negative, but positive. It is not anger. But love.

This publication is an entryway to the world of positive change-making, offering insights, contacts and doors to take your journey to a higher level.

Enjoy!
