Greg Mortenson is an American author and humanitarian who founded two educational non-profits focused on building schools in Pakistan and Afghanistan. He spent his early childhood in Tanzania where his parents were teachers and healthcare workers. After getting lost on a mountain climb in Pakistan and being helped by villagers, Mortenson vowed to build a school in their village as thanks. This experience inspired him to found the Central Asia Institute to promote education, particularly for girls, which he believed was important for creating stability and economic development in developing regions.

WCRP Youth Forum | May 2013
WCRP and info4africa collaborate and host quarterly Youth Forums, which bring together youth between the ages of 12 and 18, from schools across the economic, cultural and social spectrum in KwaZulu-Natal. The Youth Forum programme actively engages youth, as the future leaders of South Africa, through four half-day workshops each year. The workshops are theme based, drawing from the Millennium Development Goals and the National Strategic Plan for HIV, AIDS and TB for South Africa (NSP), as well as from topical events such as Human Rights Day, Peace Day and Heritage Day. A well-informed speaker drawn from government, academia or the health and welfare practitioner community anchors each workshop within the Youth Forum series. Attendees are encouraged to take projects back into their schools and share the results of these initiatives at the following Youth Forum. Annually they have an awards ceremony that recognizes effort and outstanding achievements within the Youth Programme. Highlights of the 2012 Youth Forum programme included a visit to the KZNSA Gallery to view an international activist exhibition on HIV and treatment, and an International Peace Day Celebration which showcased dramatic and creative appeals from learners highlighting the need for world peace.

350 youth from the Balkan countries of Serbia, Kosovo, Montenegro, Albania and Bosnia and Herzegovina attended a peace conference to learn about each other's cultures and discuss topics like conflict resolution and leadership. The voices of children and young people from countries in the Middle East, Eastern Europe, Latin America and Africa were also heard at a peace forum, where they advocated for youth in their respective countries. Empowering youth and children through programs focused on peacebuilding, reconciliation, inter-faith dialogue and creativity allows them to become positive agents of change and important innovators for peace.

This document discusses Catholic education in Mindanao and its role in peacebuilding. It notes that textbooks underrepresent or misrepresent Mindanao, reflecting economic marginalization. It also discusses how public land laws and resettlement displaced indigenous and Muslim populations. While education aimed to integrate groups, it failed to mitigate tensions and was seen as imposing a Manila-centered identity. There is a need for educational institutions to acknowledge their role in historical marginalization and support minority rights to build peace. The hijab issue at a Catholic school is presented as a learning opportunity for dialogue and understanding difference while avoiding discrimination.

Development & Peace Youth Council Toronto Consultation
Canada has a long history of international assistance and establishing global partnerships. It is in a strong position for leadership due to its diversity, with one-fifth of the population born outside Canada. Canada should use this leadership role to continue building partnerships and committing to multilateral action through bodies like the UN. It should also ensure Canadian NGOs and corporations abroad align with the 2030 Agenda.
Priorities for Canada's development assistance should include women's rights. Improving accountability of Canadian organizations overseas and re-examining funding to governments in the global south are also important.
Canada should better define vulnerable groups, conduct needs assessments, and focus monitoring and evaluation efforts to best help the poorest and support fragile states.

Anatomy of religious violence
Nigeria is the most populous nation in Africa and seventh-most on Earth. She is wealthy in abundant natural resources and creative intelligence, bringing great affluence to some while disregarding and leaving the majority in hopeless poverty. Nigerians' desperation is often expressed violently, even brutally, pathetically seeking order, fairness, and dignity. Neither government nor its constituency is distinctive about rejecting violent means. Various citizens will diversely attribute root causes to tribal competition, economic poverty and greed, corruption, revenge, manipulation of fear, misuse of power, famine of relationships, indigene-settler rivalry, and religion. Since the default setting of most humans is to take sides, faith communities and institutions -- Islam, Christianity, and African Traditional Religion – have been variously targets of blame and, attacks, organizing centers of defensiveness and hostility, and sacred refuges of sanity, wisdom, and creative initiatives to reunite and heal Nigerians and Nigeria as one.
In Anatomy of Religious Violence, our dear friend and author, Emmanuel Ande Ivorgba, uncovers a rich history of Nigeria, usefully clarifying religions' conditioning of Nigerian people and habits over centuries. His narrative of religions begins 5,000 years ago (3,000 BCE) in the Near East and brings us to this 2012 year in his beloved Nigeria. Reading Ivorgba and Nigerian context is a paradox. We are awed by the diversity, beauty, meaning, and evolution of the religions. And we are challenged by the different perceptions and practices, yet exemplary lives-lived of women and men inspired by each faith tradition. Like rivers lead to oceans, Ivorgba helps us see universal principles where the religions and their faithfuls converge. He gives concrete hope that Nigerians and humankind -- from their root teachings and face-to-face engagement -- will experience that the soul's oldest memory is of union, and the soul's deepest longing is for reunion: Ivorgba's own vision of a world of "peace and love." In brilliant versatility, he uncovers from each faith the aim to dignify the "other" and thus oneself, known around Earth as The Golden Rule.

Listening to Heal
Conventional methods of social science research overly confound social determinants of health and adolescent development, relying too heavily on individual level measures of change. This translates into a dominant and inaccurate pathology that treats and assumes young people of color (YPOC) as “risk” or problem, influencing the ways in which policies, practices, and investments in academic achievement, student support, staff support, and school discipline are implemented, perpetuating inequitable conditions for YPOC.Listening to Heal (LtH) is a community-engaged inquiry process that explores the experiences of trauma for YPOC in the context of school, including the impact on social emotional health, adolescent development, learning and achievement, school discipline, and the school to prison pipeline. LtH builds on RYSE’s Listening Campaign (LC), a similar and preceding inquiry that revealed young people’s profound, collective experiences of oppression, the stigma of place (being from Richmond, CA), and not feeling valued or belonging.
LtH’s aim is to effectively serve the needs of YPOC by 1) understanding their lived experience in the context of ongoing trauma 2) informing more effective school based interventions and strategies, and 3) influencing/advocating for school and other institutional policies, protocols, relationships, and investments that are restorative, just, and healing.

Climate Change & Disaster Preparedness by Hospicio Conanan
This document summarizes the key issues around climate change and disaster preparedness in the Asia-Pacific region. It notes that the number of natural disasters has increased dramatically since 1950, with 90% related to extreme weather. The poor are most vulnerable to disasters, as they suffer the greatest losses and have the lowest capacity to cope. Many countries in the Asia-Pacific lie in hazard-prone areas and experience frequent disasters like typhoons, floods, droughts, landslides, earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanoes. Disasters can severely impact development and leave lasting psychological impacts.
Drug Addiction by Jerry Valderrama
This document discusses addiction as a disease. It states that addiction affects not only the addict but their entire family. Addiction is described as a brain, spiritual, and emotional disease characterized by an overpowering need for mood-altering substances. The disease follows a predictable course and is chronic/permanent unless arrested through treatment. Recovery requires abstinence, personality change, and achieving support.
