The
Impact of Youth Activism on Country Development
As
once put by Nelson Mandela:
“No country can really develop unless its citizens are educated”.
Though the major part of the world population often states that
obtaining higher education is a game-changer in one’s further life
- there is another point
of view which is drastically different from the aforementioned.
Considering
that education is not only about formal courses that everyone is well
aware of but it also includes a non-formal part. Non-formal education
is usually provided by a variety of organizations, in the form of
training, conferences, summits or other events, and it can easily be
available directly to the learner who will access it from the comfort
of their home. The core difference between the formal and non-formal
education is that the latter broadens one’s worldview and teaches
what is often missed at official institutions. Many inhabitants who
prefer non-formal learning sooner or later become youth activists. In
general, non-formal education projects set relevant topics for
discussions and encourage one to find the right solutions as their
priority. Consequently, the participants of these projects drive
inspiration and after receiving sufficient knowledge concerning a
certain field, they decide to implement this in real life. In
contrast to the mentioned example, there are also those who are
simply against injustice and are eager to make this world a better
place through youth activism.
Youth
activism has a major influence on the country, the government, the
nation and, undoubtedly, on the country’s development. By youth
activism, the nation mostly demonstrates their abilities, power,
freedom and independence. These days we all notice how the youth have
become engaged in politics and tries to solve the issues by
protesting, gathering in crowded places, holding the flag up and via
different writings. Their actions have a huge impact on the
development of the country as they represent the free minds of free
people and their preparation for struggle for a better future for
their own country. By being youth activists, the nation helps the
government to work better and not give up in the face of
difficulties.
The
youth is not only our future but also an actively shaping tool for
our world today.
