Extractions: Youth are the recipients of more abuse, pain, hunger and neglect than any other group of people. In addition to all this children face an extraordinary amount of scapegoating and blame for problems that simply are not their fault. Now more than ever it is important to challenge the discrimination, exploitation and abuse that young people face every day of their lives, and make Youth Empowerment and liberation a central goal of movements for change. tim Links ZNet Articles and ZNet Commentaries on Youth Giroux: Zero Tolerance 1 Giroux: Zero Tolerance 2 ...

The Year In Youth Activism (News) Julie Madsen The Year in youth activism By Julie Madsen September 25, 2002 Issue.The Year in youth activism. B ecause most media have occupied http://www.utne.com/webwatch/2002_198/news/3109-1.html
Extractions: September 25, 2002 Issue The Year in Youth Activism B ecause most media have occupied themselves with Bush's doggedness in the War on Terrorism and its related subjects this last year, activism has received even less press than it usually does. But WireTap's review of the year in youth activism shows that for every government measure that supported the national interest over that of human rights, there have been groups speaking loudly and clearly about their consequencesand doing all in their power to prevent them from happening. The writers posit that, while the events of the year "have combined to make many young people feel that dissent is not welcome," many have ignored the pressure to remain silent. A few examples from WireTap's timeline of events and activists' response: While diehard initiatives such as the Patriot Act made it seem as though anti-terrorist extremism was unstoppable, students across the country rationally educated the populace with leaflets. Hundreds traveled to New York in protest of the World Economic Forum. Listen Inc. held a national meeting attended by more than 200 young people "dedicated to leadership and organizing to share strategies and talk about the anticipated effect that Sept. 11 will have on youth organizing." And many more on different levels have been fighting against discrimination, threats to civil liberties, and other issues that badly needed checks. The writers acknowledge that their list is by no means complete, and encourage others to contribute stories of resistance that even nonmainstream media have failed to pick up.

Extractions: Youth Commission Youth Perspectives Take Action IYP 2004 ... Youth Guide Globalisation of youth activism and human rights Activism can be broadly defined as efforts to create changes in the behaviour or practices of institutions or organisations through action strategies such as lobbying, protest, campaigning, and awareness raising. A key response to the challenges of globalisation has been to engage in a range of youth actions including lobbying at a global level, youth participation in sustainable development actions, and protesting to promote global social justice. The past two decades have seen a rapid growth in the size and prominence of initiatives designed to promote awareness of the inequalities fostered by many global processes and to encourage governments, businesses and multilateral institutions to change their practices. Young people have played a central role in this type of activism.
Extractions: OVERVIEW Given the opportunity, most students are eager to explore and to understand the Civil Rights movement in Mississippi. Their interest will certainly be aroused by an informative study of youth involvement in the movement, an area often overlooked in a cursory review of the primary leaders and events. Students will be engaged in thinking about the following questions as they research the subject: Why were young people interested in being a part of the Civil Rights movement? In what ways did young people participate in the movement? How important was non-violence to the cause? Was there a price to pay for being involved in the movement? What current issues of inequality can you identify?

Extractions: The QYSJ meets weekly to address current social or political issues, which concern youth. Issues we have focused on include the boy scouts, exclusionary policies, international imprisonment's based upon sexual orientation, and the "war on terrorism." We have discussions about the topics, and often have speakers come and present information to us. Then, as a group, we try to take some sort of action. This may include writing letters to relevant authorities, doing community service projects, attending and/or speaking at rallies, or creating other forums so that we can make our voices heard. Youth interested in queer youth activism should join us every Saturday at 5:30pm. Youth Council Dinners: Pizza and Progress The Youth Council Dinners are one of several opportunities for youth to give their input about youth center programs.

Give & Take - Fall 2001 MARY LOUISE VITELLI. The Druzhina Movement Forty Years of youth activismby John Deever and Irina Pirigova. Conventional wisdom holds http://www.isar.org/isar/archive/GT/GT12druzhina.html
Extractions: by John Deever and Irina Pirigova Conventional wisdom holds that the Soviet Union lacked civil society as it is understood in the West. Certainly authentic, nongovernmental volunteer activity was rareÑbut it did exist. Druzhina, a 1960s student movement to protect the environment, is a prime example. The year 2000 marked the 40th anniversary of the Druzhina movement (druzhiny okhrany prirody or "Environmental Protection Squads"). Druzhina is the oldest nongovernmental nature protection organization in the former Soviet UnionÑin fact it might be considered the original Eurasian NGO. According to the official Druzhina website (www.ecoline.ru/dop), the movement "appeared in the 1960s as a student movement for nature protection. At that time, only specialists attempted to warn society about impending environmental dangers. Today, just as then, humanity is headed for catastrophe, and it remains unclear how we will survive." Margaret Williams, director of Russian projects for World Wildlife Fund and editor of Russian Conservation News, said "The Druzhina movement was for the young people of the Soviet Union (and still is for Russian students) something like a Peace Corps of the environmental sector. Druzhina was unique, however, in providing students of the natural sciences with experience in implementing all kinds of conservation projects. As a result, people educated in biology and ecology received practical training in the field that led them to great accomplishments. Many of today's leaders in the Russian nature reserve system, for example, got their first experiences in nature protection through Druzhina."
