OTTY Check-In #5: Navigating the Attention Economy

In this conversation, Over to the Youth’s Leon Earl and Lluvias Trozzi Newman discuss the rise of the Attention Economy and its impact on individuals and society as a whole. With unprecedented technology at our disposal, we need a strong collective morality to maintain right relation and stay connected to our own reality, ensuring that we do not neglect the world we are entrusted to steward.

Here's a new piece from OTTY's Tom Shaw on managing mistakes and a little poem to accompany it. Worth a read!

The impact of multi-generational trauma is a big part of why Over To The Youth is working hard on preparing tomorrow's leaders today. The environment, history and terrain youth are born in to has a huge impact on their ability to realise their full potential. This great workshop from the excellent Nickita Starck and When Push Comes To Shove, and promoted by our partners People's Health Alliance, is a powerful session for women of all ages. We're excited to see this session come to life!
