Founded in early 2009 by Oleg Izyumenko and Sven Heijbel,
Wake-Up Call aspires to be the
ultimate partner for people working with youth and
sustainability.
Mission
We want to catalyze the development of a new
generation of empowered global youth that can take the lead in the
transition to a socially, ecologically and economically sustainable
society.
Our Method
We work to inspire young people to be brave
enough to face the serious realities of the world around them
without sinking into anxiety or denial.
To help young people stand tall and bold and dare
to approach huge issues like climate change in a positive and
constructive way, we empower them with skills and tools that we
found working for ourselves: story telling, project management,
rethinking the world and sharing positive
examples.
Thus we help inspire a new generation of young
leaders in many different areas: Civil Society, Business &
Industry, Government & Politics, Culture & Education. We
firmly believe that our generation can and will take the lead in
the transition to a socially, ecologically and economically
sustainable society.
Wake-Up Call brings
a fresh wind of reality into your classroom or your organisation.
Being quite young helps us to pick the right tone with our youth
audience and create a relaxed and positive attitude while
communicating the most serious global issues and challenges. Our
engagement with the youth climate movement and our vast contact
network help us integrate even the small-scale and local project
ideas into a bigger context of the global youth in action. A visit
from Wake-Up Call can
give you a full theme day on climate and sustainability or be a
perfect practical help for all students who want to try their wings
in the real world - be it a school project, work practice or a
course examination work.
Depending on a project, a
specific session or an audience we can perform as:
Consultants
Together with our various partners we help design, promote,
and execute projects, programs and campaigns in line with our
mission. Please visit the Portfolio section on our website to
see who we have worked with and what we have accomplished so
far.
Storytellers
We tell the story of a global society in change. We tell the story
of the modern, international engagement that is attracting
new, mainstream groups of people. We tell the success stories
of young people all over the world stepping up to our common
challenges. We do this as presenters, as guest speakers and as
panelists.
Presenters and Workshop
Facilitators
Our multimedia presentations about climate and environment, youth
leadership, social entrepreneurship and our workshop "Redesign the
World" are all aimed to help young people start their
own initiatives, based on what they are interested in doing.
We introduce planning and collaboration tools throughout the
process and help youth with tips for successful project
implementation.
Our presentations and workshops tour in 2009-10
gave over 3000 young people in schools and organisations
plenty of new opportunities to kick-start ideas and projects for a
better world.
