Climate Change: Individual steps to mitigate the impact
Every step matters when it comes to climate change. The details of our daily behaviors are the key to mitigating the impact of climate change. Therefore, every step we take and every decision we make as individuals will eventually affect the global efforts related to climate change. We need to act responsibly towards our local environment if we aspire to limit the effects of climate change, and our individual actions define what kind of future we want. Each one of us is a solution to these environmental changes. Thus, we must be more sensitive when dealing with the changes we forced on our...
The digital economy: Advancing the opportunities for youth in Jamaica
We are all immigrants
We are all immigrants, don’t be ashamed. We all came from different lands and mountains. We established civilizations across our borders and we moved beyond oceans to discover the unknown. We are all immigrants, don’t be ashamed. It’s in our nature to wander, to move and to walk across wide lands and limitless borders. Deep down the oceans, where ancient ships sleep, you can see it yourself. Every part of the ship would tell you a story of a human, who was looking for new discoveries and new opportunities. My country Tunisia is 3000 years old; it has witnessed the movement of Amazigh tribes...
Overexposed and overexaggerated: The unfiltered truth about social media
A well informed adolescent
I am passionate about preparing adolescents and youth, the people that will inherit the world in a couple of years, regarding challenges that we are facing now, such as health, poverty, gender inequality and lack of quality education. My community based activities since 2014 contribute to the objectives of the sustainable development goals by providing young people the knowledge, actions, values and communication skills needed to contribute to their overall development, thereby empowering them to make healthy life choices. These choices, decisions and actions would promote universally shared...
Climate change: Today and not tomorrow!
Earth is the only home we have. We are destined to cultivate life on earth. As a matter of fact, the changes that happen to the earth will eventually affect our lives. Mother Nature has always embraced our reckless decisions and brutal practices. For centuries, we have built factories without considerations, invaded woods to establish civilizations and colonized oceans for the interests of our nations. Thus, here comes the time to reap what we sow. Now we are facing the aftermaths of our actions. Despite, the existence of laws and regulations that are supposed to protect our environment, there...

Climate change: Facts and not fantasies
When winter is not winter anymore and it is around 30 C° in a supposedly rainy season, you have to know that something hideous is happening to our world. Conventions have been signed and agreements have been sealed. But the same question remains: When are we going to implement them? The answer to this question is in the hands of those who have the political and social power to change things; and right there lays the twist. And, before talking about it let me first amplify some facts related to climate change. Working on my Master degree thesis on Translations, I chose to translate forty pages...

You(th) are the future.
Today, I wanted to write about us, youth. Young people are the greatest agents of change in a society. To be young is definitely one of the most beautiful times in a person's life. You are full of energy, dreams and have so many aspirations. But there are many challenges too. We live in a busy world, many things have changed, including views and expectations. Some adults think that today's youth are a generation addicted to technology, that do not want to work and only focus on having fun. These stereotypes seem to be deeply rooted in some cultures, appearing to us time after time. And the...
