Privilege: recognize it
A simple guide to acknowledge the different forms of privilege. The meaning of the word ‘’privilege’’ is often misunderstood. We usually all have some kind of privilege (even without acknowledging it) but that does not mean we don’t struggle at all. The actual definition of privilege is: ‘’a special right, advantage, or immunity granted or available only to a particular person or group’’ By this statement you might think that you don’t own any type of ‘’Special Right’’ but the reality is that most likely, you do. Let’s discover it together with a fun quiz! All you have to do is mark YES or NO...
Dear Mister Presidents
Hello, My name is Noemie also know as Noemie Tahiti. I am a young emerging artist (13 y.o) from French Polynesia located in the middle of Pacific ocean. I participated at the show The Voice Kids 2020 in France. Beside singing, playing the ukulele and going to school, I always felt very concerned about environment and the fact that very shortly climate change will have desastrous consequences for all of us. A couple months ago I asked my parents to work together on a song to urge world leaders to step up their climate actions and commitments. It is the 5th anniversary of the 2015 Paris...
Solitude
It's a reality we've been living in for the past eight months. February, the month of transformation - this year for me it began in Goa. The jungle, the sea, colors, wind, sunshine... and companionship. Seems almost like a dream to us now. Then March came, and ''companionship'' as a term itself became a taboo.

The world is in need of kindness and compassion. Instead we are living are present lives in solitude, and solitude is the key...
Western Balkans diversity #YouthDay
I think there is no other place with such a history of nationalism hate as the Balkans and former Yugoslavia. We all have harsh history with each others. Wars after the break of Yugoslavia spread hatred and chauvinism that lead us to the state where a lot of people are afraid of each other. Xenophobia is present in every country, because our political leaders have taught us, in the past 30 years, that that phenomenon is normal. They wanted us to hate each other, because it was easier that way for them to rule. Nowadays, we, as a young people, are aware of this problem and the harm it can cause...
Problems faced by youth in today's Poland
We, the young generation of Poland, still have a long way to go in bettering our lives. The future of Poland and, particularly, its youth is at stake. As our country deals with the indigence that has engulfed its citizens, youth are facing great challenges in various spheres of life. According to World Bank data our country’s general rate of unemployment is 4%, whereas that of youth is at 12% (Meyer 2018, p. 80). Despite the unfortunate rate of youth hiring, there are still high chances of bettering the nation’s situation. It is possible for our country to build a new model of development that...
