The Impact of Youth Activism on Country Development

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.

The Future Echo Behind The Screen

Echo, as a very basic acoustic term, refers to the reflection of sound arriving at the listener within a very short moment right after the direct sound. Besides being acoustic information, it will be that simple 4-letter word for us to facilitate the effect of being behind the screen for the professional environment. When looking for a professional experience such as a job, internship or a master/doctorate, there are always hundreds, sometimes even thousands of candidates awaiting, like you!

If you are, at least once in your life, an organizer of SU, you are now a person behind the screen who controls an event with a team that brings the first point which is connected to others: Teamwork .
