Things. And then people know who you. Are doing something on the streets so it is important. To create the brand because then. Life. Who are symbol was a fist today its been adopted as a logo by their new organization canvas canvas trains and advises activists all over the world and offer seminars on mine. Probably worked with people from i dont know forty fifty Different Countries i lost count completely and this ranges from small Student Groups fighting for more justice or less rape in their campus to the Large Organizations that are shaking out across the governments across the world our idea is that skills you bring in a conflict are more important than the conditions so you can have the worst
conditions in the world but you have a Skilled Movement then you can get the success to increase the movements chance of Success Canvas provides protesters with books training materials and Background VideosHuman Rights Education General Welfare Corruption Versus transparency rule of law would you think is very important but. Its also people think. Why because your vision should never be only ules it needs to be a shared vision dont forget that you need people to join you movement and change the society the more people share your vision the move full scale it becomes ok we had the Youth Movement graffiti were the great solution and Rock Concerts because obviously this is the this is that how you see protests when you are in your teens but then we get a lot of retired people so of course they Couldnt March with us in the harsh winter we couldnt invite them to the places where there will be care gas used. But
ousted their dictator ben. The events of the socalled arab spring a series of protests and uprisings against political systems which spread throughout the arab world most were brutally crushed or ended in civil war. It was mainly young people who demonstrated against the countrys social inequality and corruption the first free elections took place in october Two Thousand And Eleven and the less the fledgling democracy is still finding its feet. Twenty eight year old see ads arrive from china is a child of the revolution. I was there for the protests in Two Thousand And Nine when it was still to take. A lot of people students in particular were detained at the university and thrown
in prison. Because thats why i chose to campaign for my people. I decided to fight for a different tunisia with democratic values. In the wake of the arab spring and his fellow campaigners founded what they called the alternative Youth Network known by its french acronym r. A j. They campaign for Environmental Protection jobs and political change there are big problems in the Country Economic growth a slow and terrorism is still attracting too many young people Youth Unemployment stands at more than thirty percent in tunisia and the political situation remains unstable. Convinced that n. G. O. S can bring about as much change as a political party. With politics get tied up in the election process. Takes so much effort. Into new zealands have just had enough of politicians. Especially after the revolution when we had more than One Hundred And Twenty parties. Today the activists and other n. G. O. S are meeting with the minister of the environment. That discussing preparations for the Un Climate Change Conference in november embalm germany. Ziyad says this never happened under the dictator politicians actually discussing things with young people. What. They have the role to play and galvanizing other people so that they finally take notice of Climate Change are going to put it has to become part of Public Discourse and every single citizen needs to be aware of what. The ad says peoples relationship with politics is still far from what he thinks it should be. The country is still in transition. Because. At least we can discuss things directly with ministers these days and thats definitely a start. See. None the less theres a feeling of disillusion among these Young Democrats because power stays in the same homes. We still have to endure a class of our politicians who are clinging to power. You wont hand over to the younger generation. Politicians the young just want to leave the country still it School University and arent capable of governing or making decisions. Over the last the young who have brought about
change here. The odds are i ses in the future as well that he will change and change unless the young people remain engaged and committed. Womens involvement is key to change too and that all starts with their representation in parliament Northern European countries have the greatest percentage of women in politics in the rest of the world the figures are increasing and. The slowly in Subsaharan Africa its around twenty three point six percent and thats partly down to quotas that figure is also roughly the global average. We head to senegal to meet women who have to fight hard for their right to make a change. Ya mind is the organizer of this Project Planting a special kind of grass and eucalyptus saplings which help diesel and make the soil
she also brought together the women who are implementing the project and got the local foresters involved its not been possible to grow crops here for two decades the soil is just too salty. But when i was a child we grew our own rice here in job and never had to buy any the same with peanuts and millet. The problem is the rising sea level salt water is invading and destroying more and more fertile land this dike was built five years ago and provide some relief money works for an environmental n. G. O. S he advises the women and help them get funds from the un backed Green Climate fund he also helps farmers here. The Vegetable Growers also want to benefit from the father what can it do for them they need to acquire new skills youve helped us so far but you must leave us alone now there is more to do the money for this project did not come from
china but from an international fund. You know. The soil the women are working on is still salty but they want to find out whether they can already resume farming here. Theyve planted a small patch of rice as an experiment. Theyll know in about two months if the soil is recovering and will yield a crop. A tanker truck suddenly appears the driver has evidently just dumped a load of human waste yaman guy is really angry. So yes its just truck here it just rips the ecological balance its toxic. If. The truck doesnt have a number plates and the driver wants to hide his face the forest a mama to sign
a is also a lieutenant in the army he takes the drivers Idea Drivers License and escorts the truck to the police station. Young man goes to see the man. Yeah. Mamadu sagna also shows up. Pitches her ideas is that. We were able to build the dike with money from the fund now we want. To help us make use of the dike now its that. You get young people involved many youngsters have already helped women plant trees. I have to have water pipes laid to the plots of the young vegetable farmers. And as far as the dice so that we could have enough water there. That would help the
sale and use the soil even more but they rejected my application he was. So young a wont get any more help here. In fact the man says he has no money to spend and asks how he might get some from the Green Climate fund. Despite all the difficulties the women have already achieved a lot a year ago the local authority gave his womens cooperative the land theyve been working on it had been waste ground the forty women share the four hectare plot. And volcanoes after the rainy season and the diners are going to drill a well and teach the women how to grow vegetables. Then theyll really get to work. Women in senegal are at a great disadvantage because only men inherit land its an exceptional opportunity
for this womens collective to earn their own money here. In the evening they ride to the coast where they planted mangroves two years ago this too is a project for which he got support from the climate fund. The Women Cotton Plant shoots from that burgeoning mangroves. Its hard work but this Reforestation Project is bearing fruit. Migratory birds stop by again and shellfish have come back. Thinking about Farming Oysters among the mangroves. That would combine Environmental Protection with female empowerment and what could prove to be a profitable business. Plan to sue patients and voting are key characteristics of a modern democracy democracy gives people a voice including minorities it involves political opposition freedom of opinion
and the press all citizens of bound by a constitution which protects basic rights as a division of powers and everyone is equal before the law. In sweden its precisely this democracy which is celebrated for a week every year. It isnt easy to find somewhere to stay during the dallin week the lucky ones find a spot in a classroom its a bit like a Music Festival but this is a political event this classroom is being shared by the green party and the liberals. Twenty three year old Law Student Oscar Mark is a member of the youth wing of the center right liberal party. We. Started out there are no more we are conservative we. Sent a party in the side of the event takes place about one hundred kilometers off the
east coast of sweden on the island of gotland in the medieval harbor city of his b. Its like a Company Team Building exercise where you go on a retreat to bond with your colleagues. The change of pace and scenery fosters a feeling of common purpose. Seminars and discussions start early in the morning and continue all day. We get this closeness between each other its very easy to reach me here is a politician as mayor then its very easy to reach every other one just so its a very good way to actually get politicians here with the people because i think that is what democracy and so weve done it. Grows from. It all started in One Thousand Nine Hundred Sixty Eight when future Prime Minister old off palma got up
on the back of a jeep and spoke to a couple of hundred people in on the dollar and park. When his Social Democrats started organizing political seminars here in the one Nine Hundred Eighty s. Other parties followed Organizing Events here as well madonna and weeks started growing into the phenomenon it is today some of the stuff you think is. About Forty Thousand people are here to talk about political issues socialize and share ideas even the rain hasnt dampened the mood. Today the Social Democrats are presenting their Draft Program in the park all eight of the parties represented in parliament to get their turn. Before the next round of discussion about the Global ClimateCatastrophe Osca takes a quick break he says one goal of on the government is to change our understanding of political debate going to do a metaphor on debating. Metaphor its more like your words are ammunition never
when you have a looser and i think thats been something we uncomfy for in the political debate or any discussion because when you need anything not a person then having a discussion you have one of her two to walk away from that learn to having learned something the fact you didnt know before this new Political Scientist Stick Gun Loon Friend agrees that this is the on the dalin way this is a part of the swedish model we were confident that hasnt had a proper recommendation since seven think for yourself. You know if theres a conflict we can rot and discuss it over a cup of coffee or i think youve said that since the scots that later on that site a couple. Said so you could see the swedish model is more of. The rectitude you know frank find solutions pragmatic. But there are some who criticize on the dot and some complain that its become
a leader in much too commercial they say its now the Media Outlets that dictate the agenda not the politicians. But International Interest in this swedish invention is on the rise. And democracy is the big. Everyone says this will easily but it is more like this is more a way of living and we dont need to talk much we need to practice democracy in our realize. Its the end of a second on the dollar an experience. This is a concept. People could find coming together from different parts of Government Society and business and thats something that is worth spreading across the globe. Festivals modeled on the dollar never already started in norway a stone and denmark. This is the deutsch is museum in munich germanys museum
