The 50 Percent has just launched the ‘Young person’s guide to storytelling’! The Young person’s guide to storytelling is a practical and reflective resource that brings forward the core learnings from The 50 Percent’s storytelling fellowship — a programme that, for more than five years, has supported young people in exploring how narrative shapes identity, conflict and change.
The Young Person’s Guide To Systems Change from The 50 Percent (a platform for young leaders supported by The Club of Rome), is designed as a collaborative space that empowers young people to develop a deep understanding of systems thinking and apply it to transform the world around them. It challenges the misconception that systems thinking is too complex for young people, recognising their ability to navigate interconnected challenges.
Published in 1972, the landmark study, The Limits to Growth analysed the consequences of continued global expansion. Now, over fifty years later, the report Limits and Beyond revisits these crucial lessons to explore what comes next. Edited by Ugo Bardi and Carlos Alvarez Pereira of The Club of Rome, this new publication gathers leading thinkers, scientists, and economists, and features diverse perspectives to confront the current planetary emergency and offer fresh perspectives for imagining desirable, sustainable futures.
