youth Empowerment

Youth empowerment is a process where children and young people are encouraged to take charge of their lives. They do this by addressing their situation and then take action in order to improve their access to resources and transform their consciousness through their beliefs, values, and attitudes. [1] Youth empowerment aims to improve quality of life. Youth empowerment is achieved through participation in youth empowerment programs. However scholars argue that children’s rights implementation should go beyond learning about formal rights and procedures to give birth to a concrete experience of rights. [2] There are numerous models that youth empowerment programs use that help youth achieve empowerment. A variety of youth empowerment initiatives are underway around the world. These programs can be through non-profit organizations, government organizations, schools or private organizations.
Youth empowerment is different than youth development because development is centered on developing individuals, while empowerment is focused on creating greater community change relies on the development of individual capacity. [3]
Empowerment movements, including youth empowerment, originate, gain momentum, become viable, and become institutionalized. [1] Youth empowerment is often addressed as a gateway to
intergenerational equity, civic engagement and
democracy building. Activities may focus on youth-led media , youth rights , youth councils , youth
activism , youth involvement in community decision-making, [4] and other methods.

Lifestyle to the Teenagers

Lifestyle encompasses a whole range of childhood issues including the ways in which children are involved in making choices about their own interests and hobbies and how they spend their time. Children and young people need to be encouraged and supported to experience and explore the fullest range possible of activities and interests. Fun and play are fundamental to children's health and development and it is vital that the time, space, priority and resources are given over to ensuring that children have opportunities for play and leisure. There is a real need to ensure a good balance between protecting children on the one hand and allowing the freedom to play and explore their environment on the other. As children grow we must support and empower them to respect, value and take good care of their bodies and minds and to seek help and advice to help them do so. This includes a commitment to actively protect children and young people from the damaging and risky effects of tobacc...

Think Well

How to think like a programmer — lessons in problem solving By  Richard Reis If you’re interested in programming, you may well have seen this quote before: “Everyone in this country should learn to program a computer, because it teaches you to think.” — Steve Jobs You probably also wondered what does it mean, exactly, to think like a programmer? And  how  do you do it?? Essentially,   it’s all about  a more effective way for problem solving . In this post, my goal is to teach you that way. By the end of it, you’ll know exactly what steps to take to be a better problem-solver. Why is this important? Problem solving is the meta-skill. We all have problems. Big and small. How we deal with them is sometimes, well…pretty random. Unless you have a system, this is probably how you “solve” problems (which is what I did when I started coding): Try a solutio...

The Depression of thoughts

All The Numerous Ways I’ve Failed At Curing My Depression By  Shado Evans ,  I had no idea what was happening to me. I had no map in dealing with whatever was plaguing my mentality. I didn’t know where I was going, I just knew I was going south. I figured whatever it was would go away soon enough, so I did nothing. It didn’t go away. I spent the bulk of my days lying in bed until my mattress became indented in the center. I soundtracked this indolence with playlist chalked full of Kid Cudi and Elliot Smith dirges. I smoked bunk weed and binge-watched TV series’ multiple times over instead of honoring social engagements. I stuffed myself with high fructose corn syrup and other ingredients with scientific names and questionable nutritional value. I hid out in figurative closets, dimly lit dive bars and under unwashed duvet covers. I masturbated like I was sponsored. I felt myself getting irritated and rustled easily. I felt like my friends were a cause of my mindset ...
