px2globalnews — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 21:32:44 +0000

Murdoch University in Perth, Australia was the site of a huge PX2 presentation that included, professional athletes, a DJ, iPod giveaways, and lots of other fun surprises. PX2 Australia facilitators, along with 12 trained University students, spent 3 days going through the program with 200 students from Rockingham Senior High. With many of the participants coming from historically low educational and socio-economic backgrounds, the training was key in getting them to raise their aspirations for themselves and think differently about their futures. Thanks to the success of this event several Rockingham High teachers have been trained to facilitate PX2 and will deliver it regularly on their campus. In addition, Murdoch University will continue to partner with PX2 to help incoming students successful transition into college.

A summit at the Tice Ranch earlier this spring laid the foundation for thirty seniors from Philadelphia’s highly-publicized School of the Future to participate in a recent PX2 pilot program held on their campus. Jointly sponsored by TPI, Global Youth United, and the Pearson Foundation, the session was aimed at providing these students, many of whom are the first in their families to graduate, with the tools they need to increase their possibilities for success as they prepare to head off to college.

The student’s had a great time and left feeling empowered to face their futures; and as an added motivation, GYU founder Leonard Finklestein promised to throw a huge party for all of them in 2014 to celebrate their college graduations (and his 85th birthday!) While we’ll have to wait a while to see how that goes, we’re definitely looking forward to many more success stories from this new partnership in the years to come.

Dainfern College in Johannesburg has garnered recognition as one of the South Africa’s finest schools, so our friends at PX2 South Africa were definitely excited for the recent opportunity to take a group of fifty 11th grade students through PX2 during their annual Leadership Camp.

The feedback from the students was fantastic, including one girl who shared how she used to be very shy and kept to herself, but now seeks out new friendships; and a math teacher who said this completely changed the way she taught and that she will never say “how can you not see this-its right infront of you” again.

Now Dainfern is planning to roll out IIE to their staff and continue annual PX2 training for students as well.

PX2 Scotland Grads Break Cultural Barriers

In a region of Scotland where tradition and sectarianism have led to social divisions between several neighboring communities, a goup of young people are breaking down barriers and becoming voices of positive change. Building on the foundation laid during the PX2 Scotland launch last December, eight of the graduates have established a youth forum aimed at building unity and increasing opportunities for local teens.

In addition to starting the forum, the group recently made a trip to Castlemilk to meet with another Youth Forum there, and see how they operate. Venturing out like this was a huge step outside of the traditional boundaries these teens grew up with, but once they discovered how nice their new friends were, they were even more excited to move forward with their project. We’re excited to see what they do to!

Building A Tradition Of Success In China

Just like these recent PX2 grads pictured above, Zhilin Wang was a young teenager when he went to his first PX2 China seminar. His dream was to attend college in the U.S., but even his own family told him it would not happen. Thanks to the PX2 training, Wang learned to change his self-talk, and began using affirmations to help him achieve his goal. Today, Wang is majoring in Electrical Engineering at the University of Michigan and recently won a President’s Award for his research. Following Wang’s example, these new PX2 China alums believe in themselves like never before, and are excited to use their new skills to carve out some great success stories of their own.

Ealier this month TPI hosted another successful “Lou Live” weekend in Seattle; and while the adults listened to Lou, the young people got the opportunity to experience PX2. The group of 30 was broken up into two sections, ages 13-16 and 17-20+. There was lots of great interaction as the young people began to grab hold of the concepts of visualization and affirmations. Many shared stories of how they will be able to use these new skills immediately for school, sports, and moving into life after college. We hope you can join us for the next Lou Live Seattle in June 25-27.
