Bonjour!

Is this the correct use of the conditional mood? Has it been used correctly? The context is encouraging young people/school children to help protect the environment.

Je vais faire les affiches qui encourager les jeunes a penser sur leurs actions, et, s'ils pensaient, ils changeraient leurs facons.

What I attempted to say was: I am going to make posters which encourage young people to think about their actions, and, if they thought, they would change their ways.

hello, 

"Je vais faire les affiches qui encourager les jeunes a à penser sur leurs actions, et, s'ils pensaient, ils changeraient leurs facons"

Je vais réaliser des posters/ affiches/ afin d'inciter les jeunes à réfléchir sur leur comportements -et si ils réfléchissaient ils changeraient leur manière de vivre.- but this last part doesn't sound quite natural we 'd put rather something like:

cela devrait permettre de changer leur façon de vivre.

Thank you :)

I 've just noticed I made a mistake" leur comportement" without "s"!
