Around the world youth leaders are demanding change and inspiring others to join them in making the world a better place. Currently, 16-year-old Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg is gaining massive media attention by taking a lead in the environmental activism. Greta has inspired millions of people worldwide to take action and is demanding that we collectively fight against global climate change to prevent future disasters. Although some remain critical, no one can deny that she has succeeded in bringing the problem of climate change to the table and mobilised people globally. Greta began her journey protesting alone in front of the Swedish Parliament, with the aim of pushing the Swedish government to address the climate crisis. Hereafter, Greta lunched ‘Fridays for Future’, inspiring millions of young people around the world to skip school on Fridays to demand climate action from their governments. On the 20th of September an estimated 4 million people in 161 countries worldwide, went on the streets and held the largest climate change demonstration, largely inspired by Greta.
What Greta is showing us, is that big impacts start small. What began as one girl standing up for what she believes in, has inspired millions of others to join her and take action.
“If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.”
Children are the future. In order to further community development, we at ETHOS are trying a new approach of empowering youth leaders to help us run our health and hygiene seminars and anti-human trafficking workshops in the villages. We have chosen a small team of girls that we will support and train to deliver our projects. The idea is that the girls will be delivering the content of our projects to the children that attends the workshops and thus become group leaders. Hopefully, by empowering this group of teenage girls and teaching them valuable skills, they will grow into becoming community leaders and drive development in their villages forward. Additionally, the hope is that this group of girls will become positive role models and inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more.
