Kathryn was the National Coordinator at OzGREEN and responsible for training facilitators for the inaugural YOUth LEADing the World, which went on to win “socially responsible design’s highest award” from The Buckmeister Fuller Institute.

Winning designs must be applied to every aspect of the global system, and reveal a successful solution to our most complex and urgent problems.

Our winning program enables youth to become serial innovators and influencers, and is building a self-organising system of distributed leadership. Local-regional-global support circles foster collaboration and action. Achievements are recognised, success stories and challenges shared. By training local people, YLtW has scaled ten-fold, minimised costs and carbon.

 
 

Kathryn Mc Cabe and Friends of the Earth, Northern Ireland discuss their movement building collaboration, using the Social Ecology model of applied ecological thinking that underpins her work. Social Ecology provides a holistic framework that emphasises the interrelationships between the personal, social and environmental and ‘unknown’ domains for understanding our past and present, and for collaborating with others in visioning and implementing an improved future.
