PREFACE

Rethinking voice of every citizen must engage what we dislike, opportunistic to engage are more than we think and have more instrument to create than ever before. our voice is about transforming collective action into specific project, it is the citizen that start a petition to keep water a public good or universities open, it is the community that participate in setting the budget of their municipality, bring evidence and lived experience into policy making.

To keep our hand up we must engage and act in the face of today's social and environment crisis. Such as climate change, environment degradation, increase social inequalities, communal rivalry, persecution and criminalization of human rights, land grabs, corruption, weak morality, weak traditional institution and psychological oppression of young people.  These are widespread issues that affects the whole planet, particularly those of the vulnerable Communities. In face of these challenges, there is urgent need to transit towards a more sustainable way of living and interacting with the planet and with other fellow human beings. 

Our participation in every events and dedicating spaces for action can bring about fruitful connections based on solidarity. Our capacity to give ideas indifferent struggles are core pillar to every solutions.

As a young person we have the right to demand our leaders to take action and be mindful of the present and also the future. But every right comes with responsibility to find ways to act within our Local Communities, where we can engage with our peers and build intergenerational solidarity- where we be in dialogue with our elders to learn about the mistakes already made to avoid them again. But this start with our capacity to influence others based of our knowledge, critical thinking, and strong moral values. These skills are capable of making things change.

We don't have to graduate from Titanic college to make a change. If there is it’s the 'Pedigree' or that certificate are nothing compare to the will human have. Our will is infinite, just as our comprehension of things, unfortunately is finite. In conclusion, I do strongly encourage young people to study- Not only now, study not because you have to but because you love too, you are doing it for yourself. You know what you worth, you know that this will only make you a better person.

Search dig and discover new world inside incredible narrative to share and educates others find that voice that change the world, it can be small actions, it can be big actions. Transition or change began with ourselves.
