About this event: TakingITGlobal Live Chat on Youth Migration
About this category: Work & Economics


TakingITGlobal hosted a Live Chat just before the holidays on Youth Migration, which turned out to provide an interesting portrait of just what youth are facing when they attempt to take advantage of the 'shrinking world' and 'increasing connectivity' we're all meant to be benefiting from as a consequence of globalization. If the sarcasm in that last sentence wasn't obvious then I should explain that what we all understood from the portrait drawn by our speakers of Youth Migration in our day and age was that it is not necessarily made easier by 'globalization' and that it is in fact often a dangerous, disappointing and victimizing experience.

Migration is one of those issues that is especially relevant to youth but for some reason is not readily recognized as a youth issue, or is not often associated with youth when it is discussed at higher levels. Migration is a youth issue because youth are the largest group affected by, participating in and victimized by migration. It is similar in this way to an issue like HIV/AIDS, which is affecting youth more than anyone else, and yet youth are so often left out of the processes and policies addressing it.

Youth decide to migrate to another country for countless reasons - education, work, living conditions, etc - and you might think that now it must be easier than ever for this to happen. Thanks to new communication technology youth are more aware than any other generation of what is going on in the world around them, the internet lets us learn about opportunities in distant places and increasing international travel makes it more likely that we can get to those opportunities. I think most of us will have heard at one time or another how globalization and communication technology are bringing us all closer together and breaking down the geographical, political and technological barriers that used to separate us - right?

The opposite is happening for the majority of youth migrants. What we learned during the Live Chat is that globalization has created new barriers to keep people out, rather than breaking down the old ones. It seems that the greater connectivity globalization has created amongst economies and industries has increased the dangers of migration, because it has narrowed the channels for legal migration, therefore forcing more and more youth to attempt illegal migration. The global free market economy, Naomi Onaga (Director of Migrants Rights International) explained, makes keeping certain people in their countries working for low wages attractive and therefore channels for legal migration narrow except in the case of temporary labourers. Temporary labourers are denied citizenship, job freedom, and residency. They become vulnerable to abuse by employers because of this. The type of low-wage labour they are allowed to participate in means that they will bring little skill or knowledge back to their native communities.

It all makes for a pretty bleak picture, made worse by the dangerous journeys ahead of those who attempt to illegally migrate. Migrants - most often youth - are drowning while attempting to cross from North Africa to Spain or Italy, dying in the desert attempting to enter the USA, or are becoming victims of forced migration. If they make it to their destinations they will likely be greeted by a population that is mostly hostile to them, and sees them as dangerous.

The whole discussion had a special relevancy for me, because I will soon be a migrant myself. Leaving Canada for an overseas opportunity, but I'm lucky, because I will be migrating legally, will enjoy all of my rights and be relatively safe while doing it - or as safe as anyone can expect to be on an international flight these days. The Live Chat really sharpened those inequalities that mean that I will be able to take advantage of an opportunity in a different country, and others will face nothing but misery for trying to do the same.

To try and not end on a bad note, there are those working towards international recognition of migrants, more opportunities for legal, safe migration and, maybe most importantly, opportunities for work, education and a better life for youth in their home countries and communities. These people include the speakers who took time out of their busy schedules on December 18 - International Migrants Day - to join our Live Chat.

The biggest hurdle of all might be to change people's perception of migration and migrants themselves. I thought the image above was a great way to think about that issue. Of course, technically refugees and migrants are considered to be in different categories, but I think it speaks to the same fear of foreigners, immigrants, migrants or refugees being 'dangerous' or 'bad'. In fact, communities that welcome these people and make the best use of their skills benefit from them. Einstein is a pretty good example.

These are the organizations that supported our Live Chat on Youth Migration:

Nocturne, Secret Garden - Happy New Year!

Nocturne performed by Secret Garden, music video

A lovely song and music video filled with magic, love and longing. Simply beautiful! Wonderful music, haunting song, perfect vocals. Fabulous!

Band: Secret Garden, Song: Nocturne, Album: Songs From Secret Garden (1995). Nocturne won the 1995 Eurovision Song Contest. Lyrics in Norwegian by Petter Skavlan.

Secret Garden was formed when Rolf Løvland and Fionnuala Sherry met at the 1994 Eurovision Song Contest in Dublin. Their mostly instrumental music is a combination of Celtic and Norwegian impressions. The vocals in ‘Nocturne’ are sung by Gunnhild Tvinnereim.

Sherry says, “The secret garden refers to a personal intimate musical idea and something natural and organic, something that comes from the heart. It’s a place within all of us where we need to go to find balance and peace of mind and listen to the inner voice of our hearts.”

 

God’s Lovers

Standing, ever embracing

The lovers watch as sun sets.

Seasons pass… years… millennia…

And yet, there’s only Now

For the lovers love, eternal.

Indultos como Regalo de Navidad, 2009
About this category: Peace, Conflict & Governance



Noticia tomada de: http://www.listindiario.com/app/article.aspx?id=86271

SANTO DOMINGO.- El presidente Leonel Fernández explicó ayer que fue únicamente por “razones humanitarias” que decidió favorecer con el indulto a la ex ejecutiva bancaria Vivian Lubrano de Castillo, sentenciada a cinco años de prisión por el caso Baninter, así como a otros cuatro condenados por la ejecución del Plan Renove.

“Lo hemos hecho por conmiseración, por compasión, estableciendo justamente los valores cristianos, debido al estado de salud física y mental de los indultados”, precisó Fernández, en una conferencia de prensa en el Palacio Nacional

El gobernante expresó que se sentía en la obligación moral de ofrecer una explicación al país y al cuestionamiento que sobre los indultos han hecho algunos sectores que le merecen respeto y consideración, entre los que citó a la Iglesia Católica, representada por el cardenal Nicolás de Jesús López Rodríguez, y que por eso había convocado la rueda de prensa.

Momentos antes el mandatario recibió en su despacho al periodista Luis Eduardo Lora (Huchi), miembro renunciante de la Comisión de Indultos, a quien mandó a llamar para ofrecerle las mismas explicaciones sobre los motivos que tuvo para decidir los indultos de Navidad.

Revista Estudiantil ¿Eeeh? y Club de Lectura 451
About this category: Culture & Identity


La Universidad EARTH celebra cada año los denominados Premios Heliconia. Con estos se premia a los estudiantes destacados por sus cualidades especialmente personales, y por su identificación con los valores y perfil de la Universidad.

Además de valorar el desempeño de los estudiantes, también se premian los trabajos y actividades encabezadas por líderes y grupos de estudiantes. Es así como la Revista Estudiantil ¿Eeehh?, y el Club de Lectura recibieron en Noviembre del 2008, un certificado Heliconia, por sus buenos aportes a la vida estudiantil de la EARTH.

La Revista Estudiantil surge en el 2007 por el deseo de un grupo de estudiantes de expresar los gustos, opiniones e intereses de la Universidad EARTH, pero no justamente relacionado con temas agrícolas, sirviendo así como un medio de transmisión de temas culturales.

El Club de lectura, igualmente nace el mismo año integrado por estudiantes de diferentes niveles académicos de la EARTH. El interés es compartir temas literarios, libros y realizar actividades para promover la lectura y la cultura entre la población estudiantil especialmente.

Es un honor ser parte de ambos proyectos y compartir con gente tan estupenda, haciendo posible la realización de proyectos sociales, con un impacto positivo en nuestra población estudiantil.

En nombre de todos mis compañeros, se agradece el reconocimiento y este premio significa un insumo más para seguir trabajando desinteresadamente por un proyecto de desarrollo para nosotros mismos, y nuestra Universidad.

Efrentamiento Israel y Palestina
About this category: Peace, Conflict & Governance


Por un lado la nación de Israel tiene poderosas razones históricas, políticas, morales y religiosas, para poseer su pequeña tierra en paz. Pese a ello, en naciones como España (con grandes intereses en los países árabes y con una cultura popular desgraciadamente muy antisemita, por la influencia secular de la religión católico-romana en este país), la prensa, las noticias televisadas, ciertos políticos y muchas personas del llamado "mundo de la cultura" (muchos de éstos titiriteros con complejo de "mesías"), han mediatizado al pueblo con la falsa y torcida idea de que los judíos "invadieron" un día un país llamado "Palestina" donde vivían los "Palestinos", y que actualmente los únicos causantes del conflicto de esa tierra son los judíos, presentando por lo general el conflicto desde una perspectiva únicamente pro-"Palestina".

Por otro lado está el drama de la población árabe-musulmana llamada desde hace pocas décadas "Palestinos", utilizada como moneda de cambio y manipulada por sus dirigentes políticos y religiosos de forma dramática y poco sutil. Es por esto que advertimos previamente a este estudio que no somos antiárabes: Amamos al pueblo árabe y oramos por su salvación. Reconocemos su aportación en el pasado a la cultura, las artes y las ciencias. Reconocemos la riqueza cultural (que no tanto moral) de su civilización. No es fácil hablar desde la comodidad occidental de un conflicto tan sangriento y cruel, donde hay tantas víctimas inocentes en ambos bandos y tanto odio. Nuestro interés por medio de estas líneas es tratar de traer luz a una situación tremendamente injusta en lo referente a las noticias que se dan sobre el conflicto de Oriente Próximo en nuestro país: España. No somos amantes de la guerra, pensamos que lo que sucede allí es consecuencia de un conflicto de carácter religioso y que comenzó hace muchos miles de años, como veremos a continuación.

Metas 2009
About this category: Peace, Conflict & Governance


Pues claro, se inicia el nuevo año, y surgen las metas, para este nuevo año tengo las siguientes:

BAJAR DE PESO. Como siempre, pero espero darle más seguimiento a este tema.

Mantener un promedio sobre 9 en la Universidad. Esto para mantener la beca, además de que es un medio para aprender más de los temas que aprendo.

Darme más cuidado personal. Como siempre hay muchas clases, y tareas pendientes, pero sacar mi tiempo para cuidarme el cabello y vestir como me gusta.

Controlar un poco el carácter. Ser más pasífica, ya que he entendido que el mundo que quiero construir: de paz, amor, entendimiento, justicia, solidaridad, y comunicación, sólo se logra si cada uno toma la actitud para el mismo, y con un carácter belicoso no se logra. Espero en Dios esto sea posible.


Y bueno, seguir siendo tan responsable como hasta ahora lo he sido. Le pido a Dios más sabiduría, paciencia y tranquilidad para afrontar las cosas.

Llegó la Navidad y el Reencuentro Familiar

Finalmente, pude concluir el tercer trimestre en la Universidad, y retorné a mi madre Patria: Rep. Dominicana.

Cuando regreso, me encuentro con toda la alegría que caracteríza al pueblo dominicano: las fiestas, las bebidas, y gozadera.´

Así mismo, la familia; ver los tíos, los primos, abuelos, amigos, da una sensación muy gratificante, ya que le nacen emociones como si se acumularan por todo un año, hasta que uno los vuelve a ver.

La navidad es un espacio en el que uno comparte, y se alegra en familia, con amigos y allegados. Gracias a Dios, en momentos como estos, uno puede acercarse más a los seres que uno aprecia.
