Education is Our Buffalo

APEGGA and Treaty 8 First Nations of Alberta signed a historic memorandum of agreement to improve educational outcomes for First Nations youth. The agreement aims to increase the number of First Nations people entering engineering and geoscience professions by exposing Aboriginal youth to careers in these fields and encouraging them to study math and science. APEGGA volunteers will mentor Aboriginal youth and visit schools in Treaty 8 communities to foster interest in these subjects. Both organizations hope this partnership opens new doors of opportunity for First Nations youth.

The document discusses youth participation in Estonia. It notes that there are approximately 366,914 young people aged 7-26 in Estonia, with 60% of 14-26 year olds considered passive. The main aim of Estonia's youth policy from 2006-2013 is to ensure youth participation and development across all youth policy domains based on the actual interests and needs of young people. This includes actions based on an understanding of youth needs, opportunities for youth participation in decision making, and an integrated youth policy developed in cooperation with stakeholders.

This document is an edited volume that examines the experiences of young people aging out of alternative care systems across European and Central Asian countries. It includes individual country chapters that describe the target populations, legal frameworks, practices regarding preparation for leaving care and aftercare services, and key recommendations. The introduction outlines the objectives, methodology and structure of the report, and notes some of the challenges around data and terminology. Forewords contributed by Ertion Axha and Thomas Hammarberg emphasize the importance of preparing youth for independent living and reducing vulnerabilities once they leave care.

The document discusses young people's sexual and reproductive health and rights. It is published by the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF), which works to ensure people everywhere have control over their own bodies and health. The introduction notes that over 1.75 billion people are between ages 10-24, representing both challenges and opportunities.
