Learning About SDG #11!
This is my skit about SDG #11 that I have done exclusively for school work where the only quality parts in the video are the script and educational side.

Growing up in Pakistan I have often heard from our elders that unless you don’t fall you will never learn to get up. Ironically, despite those words of so called encouragement that makes you believe in your family and them being you strength through thick and thin, when you actually do face failure you are deemed and termed as a disappointment. You not only hear words that shatter you and a strange kind of fear is instilled within you. A fear that makes you shiver, stunts your growth, makes you push yourself to a point that if you ever again face failure you become suicidal. You associate not...
Can you think of a world without the internet, smartphones, iPads, or perhaps the laptop that you’re currently working on? What if we had been hit by this pandemic somewhere during the 90s when meetings over the cloud and Twitter live updates weren’t there to come to our rescue? Sounds beyond imagination? Well, that’s exactly where tech has made us land! The world is now at our fingertips! From mopping up our favorite bruschetta to solving compound calculations, all we have to do is perhaps get online! We are privileged indeed, but is our ability to ponder over a question, comprehend word...
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in the total closure of schools in about 192 countries all over the world with 91.4% of the total number of enrolled learners in these countries temporarily forced out of school (UNESCO, 2020). It is pertinent to observe that disruption in learning activities in schools affects not only learners, educators, and families, but has sweeping mental, social and economic aftermath. Suspension of the operation of schools in reaction to the scourge has exposed the negligence on the part of the government in their successions on e-learning, education infrastructure...
World Book Day is celebrated every year on 4th March to focus on the work and contributions of authors all around the world. Celebrating the day motivates us to discover and read more books. Every year it's celebrated with a new theme to encourage people to read. This year's theme is to "share a story". World Book Day gives opportunities to people all around the world to read and share what they read. With a magic carpet of words and pages, I explored new worlds without leaving my house during the lockdown. Books are a kind of escape into places where anything can happen. It's nowhere - so it...
"The Youth is the hope of the Future" -Dr. Jose P. Rizal We are said to be the hope of the future of our nation. How is that possible if one of the biggest problem we are facing right now is education? Many children nowadays are no longer attending school because of poverty. Instead of studying, they are forced to work to help provide for their family. You can see anywhere around, children begging for money, selling sampaguita on the streets, and they are now involved in crimes. They are taught to do bad things in order to survive, and education is being ignored. It is the right of every...
Last week, students in the UK set themselves to join a global protest which has seen children and young adults refuse to go to school on the 15th of February. The grounds for their absence can be put simply and hauntingly: why learn when, in 12 years, there won’t be a planet to practise in. This has come from recent studies that suggest we have less than 12 years before the effects of climate change are irreversible. Many parents of these protesting students have supported them, arguing that this fact counts as ‘extenuating circumstances’, a legitimate and lawful reason for pulling their kids...
The manuscript represents the importance of knowledge throughout time. The glass of water represents its importance as a basic need and actions should be taken globally for its conversation. And live is the strongest value and feeling all human beings should possess❤️😌
I was born in a world surrounded by technology. My school recess was playing basketball on the Wii, memorizing the multiplication table was reaching level 10 in online math games, and putting a song disc in my music player was searching up a song on YouTube. My name is Alisha Arora and I am an ambitious 15-year-old on the mission to leverage technology to prevent suicide. In middle school, I always felt distant from technology because in my school STEM was a “boys” thing and the baking and knitting club was for us girls. I remember watching the boys on my robotics team build a massive robot...
The usage of social media has whopped up tremendously in the last seven to eight years. Snapchat, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, WeChat, Telegram, TikTok etc. have all found their places in the mobile phones of people. Social media has become so important to people as some of them have lost touch with their families and friends. Apparently having a huge amount of following, thousands and lakhs of likes and followers have become the new “mom” and dad”. Social media was created for socializing and entertainment purposes, not for faking your lives, cyberbullying, abusing, trolling, etc. It...
Every student from every university and every generation is used to experiencing stress, to the point where this feeling was almost normalised and became a part of the education experience. But if lately you’ve been feeling more down than ever and nothing about your anxiety feels normal, you’re not wrong: recent studies show that students from the current generation are on the verge of a full-blown stress epidemic that can take a serious toll on their physical and mental health. According to a February 2019 study from Pew Research Centre, a worrying 70% of young people said that anxiety and...
The world gets dark but not our voice. Our voice matters. As youth, we are often unheard, ignored, but on the other hand, we are the same creatures from God –Human--. Our mental needs warmth too as well as our body’s temperature needs. Hi, I’m Anggi, 16 years old (still 15 actually but this year will be 16 ). Many people assumed me as a smart human being in the academic field, but none of them know how I suffered from their high expectations toward me. “Ah..this girl must be the winner!” When I'm not in the winner list “Oh look at that girl, she must be too overproud so that she failed. C’mon...

There are many challenges we face today in the world. One of the recent obstacles to all, is the catastrophic coronavirus crisis which disturbed the daily occurrences of many of our lives. As a final year college student who has access to what strikes us as 'common things' such as internet and a laptop, the hindrances to my learning were not as dramatic. I am exceptionally grateful for everything that our teachers and key workers are doing. We are all travelling this path together with fresh knowledge and are learning as we go along. We are tremendously lucky to be able to mine our way through...

Why has this been a problem...
I am in the future. It’s the year 2050, and I am at a museum. Behind one panel lies a curious conglomerate of paper, pens and pencils, while another exhibit displays the archaic remnants of a chalkboard upon which a hint of ancient diagrams, markings and inscriptions still remain. I lift a dilapidated textbook, examining the scarcely discernible words of yesteryear. Suddenly, my surroundings dissolve before my eyes; my trip to the museum has finished, and I am returned to the comfort of my virtual classroom. Equipped with sophisticated AR headsets, 3D printers and flexible displays, I soar...
The growth of social media has jumped greatly in recent years and it brings impacts to social life. Since it has been ingrained into the society today, everyone particularly the youth always gets influence from it. Albeit social media bring a myriad of advantages, it is actually risky and dangerous. It might be a medium for committing online crime such as spreading fake news and hoaxes. Some people will spread hoaxes which may serve the goal of propaganda or disinformation. The target of this propaganda is commonly adolescents since they often make snap decisions based on how the information...
