"As the next generation, we have a responsibility to shape a sustainable future—and addressing plastic pollution is a critical part of that journey. 🌍 Supporting the #PlasticTreaty in Thailand is a key step toward safeguarding our environment, oceans, and communities. This treaty offers a framework for Thailand to lead in reducing plastic waste, promoting a circular economy, and inspiring innovative solutions. As a youth, together we can build a cleaner, more sustainable Thailand and set an example for the region. Excited to explore this treaty and learn how to adapt it for Thailand ♻️🌱 #PlasticFreeFuture #YouthForChange #SustainableThailand"

#Belonging is part of today’s focus of the Food Solutions New England 21 Day Equity Challenge as we continue why and how to shift from “me to we.” This is a powerful word, feeling, and condition. It is also linked to #wellbeing (another focus today) and community. The concept of belonging has been explored in great depth and detail by the Othering & Belonging Institute at UC Berkeley (OBI). According to OBI, belonging is about being “seen” and “respected,” and stands in contrast to “othering,” a process that denies people recognition of their full humanity. You can learn more about othering and belonging by watching/listening to a roughly 5 minute segment of the linked video “Building Belonging in a Time of Othering” (start at 9:10 and end at 13:45). According to OBI, belonging means that people have a meaningful voice and the opportunity to participate in the design of the social and cultural institutions that shape their life. This means they have the right to both contribute and make demands upon society. So belonging requires power, access, and opportunity among all groups and individuals, which is not part of our current reality in the United States and many other parts of the world. What factors contribute to your sense of belonging? How do you experience or observe “othering” in food and/or other systems? What can you do to build belonging, and to bridge rather than break? You can still sign up for the Challenge here (it is free to participate) - https://lnkd.in/eJJDcQ4 https://lnkd.in/eABkRND8

We have been designing and working with groups to build the capability and conditions for collaboration across Departmental/jurisdictional/structural boundaries for many years now and learning about the issues that prevent real progress in joined-up, integrated, whole of government ventures. Ever been part of any kind of joined-up or whole of government venture and had the feeling that it was just too hard, that the effort wasn't reaping returns or making the desired progress? OR have you been able to steer your collaboration to achieve real results that you couldn't have delivered separately? Are you increasingly needing to achieve outcomes across organisational, policy and program boundaries, particularly in public sector settings? It takes conscious effort and leadership to make real progress, and there are professional insights that help drive these efforts to success. Understanding the common factors and pitfalls that those who have gone before you have encountered is a way to sure up your potential for success. You might find our #primer useful. It is grounded in research, practical experience and live observations. We have been refining it over time to help groups and their members build shared awareness of the factors that help and hinder inter-organisation collaborative efforts and to identify and address factors that might be driving their efforts towards "collaborative inertia" where the effort is so challenging that it outweighs the potential value to be gained. You can find it on our website - link below. QUICK TIP: We would recommend sharing something like this in advance of a collaboration gathering or as a starting point for a meeting. Have individual members read and reflect on the diagnostic questions and then facilitate a conversation about the diagnoses to review progress and make agreements about changes that would assist progress to be made. In our experience there are many #undiscussables running in these types of fora and so surfacing those is the first step to tuning the appoach. We can provide tips and strategies for facilitating these discussions if you are interested or would just like a bit of advice. In the meantime, here's the link. https://lnkd.in/geR5i5pM
