It’s
everywhere we look these days: it’s portrayed on television,
taking up the radio airwaves, plastered in the headlines,
sent in an email, activated in the click of a mouse. In
the streets it’s sleeping under the bridge, it’s
the walls put up to keep people out, it’s a war happening
half way around the world…it’s war happening
in our own back yards.
 What
do you know about human rights? About protecting your rights?
About advocating for the rights of others? How can you transform
your experiences and knowledge about human rights into positive
action?
Rural
Rights: Youth Action & Media Project is about sparking
a conversation amongst Alberta youth (ages 14-20) about
human rights. It’s time to share
what we already know and open our minds to consider new
perspectives and possibilities. It’s about building
a dialogue, recognizing the challenges and gaining confidence
in our abilities as young people to participate in community
and make some big changes!
At the
Rural Rights Training Weekends in 2010, you’ll have
the chance to share what you know, be exposed to a diversity
of stories from other youth, challenge discrimination and
oppression, and develop the kind of skills you can use anywhere
in the world.
…and
that’s not all… you’ll choose to learn
about the power of alternative radio or magazine
writing, and how you and your friends can make
your own resources to get your message out there. That means
learning how to plan, write, record, create, and produce
a radio documentary or edgy ‘zine’ magazine
all on human rights.
