WHY NOT TAKING ACTION?

You as a young person know what is going on in the world. You know there are thousands of people who are suffering and need help. Therefore, we have to take action to help the ones in need. Several young people like you are trying as hard as they can to make this world a better place.
Youth Participation in Mass Media Young people should be allowed to join mass-media teams already working on certain social projects and after obtaining enough knowledge about communication matters, they should receive the permission to make themselves a report. This project, would it be newspaper reportage, a short movie or a radio debate, can prove the world what they have learned and would show other young people that helping others is actually a very exciting and rewarding experience!

Youth Participation

With energy, ambition and belief in their own capabilities, young people can be powerful agents of positive change. Including young people in issues that directly affect them contributes to their self-confidence, allows them to exercise a fundamental human right and leads to better decisions. Inclusion can help prepare young people to exercise the rights and responsibilities of adulthood and citizenship. Youth participation is also essential to the development of successful programming.Participation in social groups also fosters a feeling of connectedness and belonging, helping young people to develop a sense of identity. Collaboration with peers and with adults who share some of their views fortifies their ideas and values. And the experience of contributing—to a cause, a decision, a group—can be crucial part to the development of a sense of responsibility, purpose and self-worth..
