valuing human sustainability around intergenerational design of education

what we could have learnt for youth from 3 events half a century apart?

Curiously the 3 events are also connected around whether worldwide youth value dr yunus most by actioning dreams he wishes to empower

Nordica annoints yunus as Nobel Peace laureate 2006

What's so hard about inter-generational value transformation is that short-term rulers and their academic mouthpieces are liable to get the wrong end of every stick, to force it down youth's throats, and thus what could have been a cross-cultural peaceful foundation can actually plant terrifying outcomes. Take 1956 - while Yunus was taking youth's last affordable journey across cultures, The EU was conceived with the sole authority to bring peace to a Europe that had spun 2 world wars. Within a year the brilliant concept brainstormed at Medina was already being turned into bureaucrats spinning ever more borders to interfere over peoples freedoms to trade around entrepreneurial flows.... more

..Yunus Diary tells the story of a youth from a country being meanly empired over by West Pakistan being free to travel to a boy scouts summit in Canada- after taking ship from Canada to london, and public transport to wolfsburg, 12 or so lads bought a couple of volksvagens and spent 5 months driving across continental  borders all the way home to what was then called East pakistan. For yunus the oy of the best of every culture shaped his life. Sadly this was ust about the last year that a youth from East pakistan or anywhere could have freely explred eierope and asia sand frintieres....

Pattern rule 1 - when yunus says:

I designed banking for the poorest women vailagers by looking at the rules used by banking for the richest men in biggest capitals and then doing the opposite, its a pity he didnt gently ask his youth disciples to make a list of other systems that they would therefore also need to apply this pattern to ... more. In the West at least, there was zero point asking youth to network bottom-up banks without also networking empowerment up politicians and academics

Luxembourg and Belgium became extreme bankers in preventing Germany and France from going to war again but if within a generation or two this meant destroying youths futures at the peripheries of the union- well so be it. This the greatst innovatuon youth could ever have co-produced with - the internet - was by the 2000s destroyed by the EU's knowldgeboard with inputs from Luxembourg whos sole belief in it was it could be used to replace human jobs

Even more peculiar things happened to Yunus between 2006 and 2010:
while his 2006 nobel speech -launching an invitation to benchmark global social business oartnerships (an idea that Paris nutritional and sustainability mba advocates had brainstormed with him a year earlier mediated by an alumn of Mother Theresa who had by now spent quarter of a century questioning the nutritional empowerment of milk markets) - faithfully explained why womens banking could not be separated from grassroots health services and open education of village mothers' next generation, by 2009 his 80th celebration of Mandela had been turned by Germanic influences those inviting Yunus to keynote for peace at the 20th celebrations of the fall of Berlin's wall, the German controlled Yun us was the last spirit in the world European youth needed to guide them out of a decade of lost generations caused by bad banking. Also while his late 2008 speech in honor of Gandhi and Manmoghan Singh proposed an Asian version of Messina, he had taken so little care to educate indians in the whole truth of microcredit that India's suicides among microfinance borrowers became the ammunition that global big bankers needed to encourage Nordica to make more noise about low trust banking inspired by Yunus than the mess they had spun with subprime banking.

Over in America his lead agent becmae the host of america's biggest health summit the world congress. While this man lived 10 miles out of boston and became yunus main searcher of parrners in bih health, he didnt even notice that Bosto's parrber in Health were revolutionising and even bigger dream for youth with grassroots health networking than anything Yunus had prevuiously experienced.

By 1906, the forty something Gandhi had almost completely lost his way. More precisely education and law had almost exhausted him. It had all started so differently. The young man finding nothing worth studying in local Mumbai universities of the late 1880s had begged every last penny from his relatives to go stidy law at the Bar of London. Studies there were a disappointment - the teachers and many of their students are drunk by early evening. Law was becoming how to write rules in stone and order people

Gandhi did however enoy what he could in using London to start to form the most cross-cultural network of his age. But then when he returned as a qualified Bar of London Barrister to Mumbai- there was no work for him - he was too highly qualified for a young man to gain any meaningful briefs. This led to his main professional development being in the service of expatriates in South Africa. Still the law was the law was the law until one cold night in 1906 Gandhi was thrown out of a first class train carriage onto a cold platfrom in the middle of nowhere for having the wrong colored skin. 

That's where the whole truth (satyagraha) hit Gandhi. What if the ststems professions he was qualified to argue with was the problem. What if Empire law- consciously or subsconscuously - was chaining ever more of his compatriots to poverty.  Gandhi spent the second 40 years of is life on an intergenerational freedom plan. His reasoning develop a totally new edcucation system from primary up- only then peacefully rest British authorities (including so it happened my maternal grandfather then in mid 1920s chief justice of mumbai)

so what were the outcomes? well they are worth searchoig nos stione unturned from any culture and youth future you can linkin to, but appear to include::

At a meeting at the Friends House in London around 1925 Gandhi announced his new ob creating education system needed some final touches- Italy's Maria Montessori volunteered to to spend most of the rest of her life on that in India provided he Gandhi would value women more. So with education's future turned over ti Maria, Gandhi started to celebrate disobedience marches such as a50 mile trek to collect salt from the beach ( salt being a corporation monopoly that empire law forbad Indians from making naturally!). Grandad started 2o years of mediation with Gandhi that began by putting him in prison and ended with him writing up legalese for India's Independence.

Now we come to the tricky question of how truly did yunus 100 years later understand Gandhi's experience; he appears to have been briefly inspired by Nobel acknowledgement  to have rushed into a temporary declaration of running for political leadership but to have had no plans to plant a youth education system before his direct confrontation with sheikh hasina; his western friends (look at wikileaks) seemed to have be utterly culturally clueless - giving sheikh hasina just enough ammunition to paint Yunus as a western stooge; meanwhile stranger than fiction bar of london female barrister Cherie Blair took on the case that had freed Hasina from her prior arrest for running a party with too little transparency

back in DC what were such lawyers (like drayton who called himself social enetrepreneur's chief guru ) up to? He who had built ashoka as a homage to gandhi- neither appeared to understand needs for legal and educational revolution if local sustainability was ever to be the endgame of going global. And what of drayton's and Yunus' allies running microcredisummit . Over the period 1997 to 2006-2010 why hadnt this summit been used as an open education process of youth instead of a fundraising opetration in which all sides increasingly greenwashed each other with youth having to pick up the pieces of both big babking;s mess as microcredit india's suicide missions
