(Charles V Willie) 1 Abstract !is paper aims to investigate how young people in post-apartheid South Africa are being constructed in negative waysin the light of how we commemorate and teach the Anti-apartheidstruggle. Is it possible to teach the stories of the past without burdening this generation with guilt and paralysing the youth in terms of their own struggles? It speci"cally focus on how the media are currently reconstructing the struggle icons as superhuman, and in so doing, implying that the youth can never live up to the achievements of these heroes. I am interested in how history, as it is taught in our schools can play a role in restoring agency and a healthy respect for the past.

  • What Is World Youth Day?
    “World Youth Day (WYD) is an opportunity for young Catholics to encounter the global Church and all its riches. More than 2/3s of the Catholics in the world now live outside of North America and Europe. WYD is a time to experience that reality.” “Many of the young men and women who have entered Holy Orders or religious communities had found the profound first call to a vocation at WYD.” “Come to WYD to be with your peers and Pope Francis!” Bishop Coyne What is World Youth Day? Starting in 1985 in Rome by Pope John Paul II, the Holy Father has invited youth and young adults to gather periodically with him across the world in an epic event known as World Youth Day. Though the title indicates a “day,” it is really a week long life changing experience of the universality and richness of the Catholic Church. This past summer, Pope Francis invited youth and young adults from across the world to the 14th World Youth Day in Krakow, Poland. The Diocese of Burlington will be teaming up with Chris Dawson and “Save Vermont” to send a group of pilgrims, along with millions of other Catholics from around the world, to the place where Saint Pope John Paul II spent much of his life. The official website for WYD Krakow has been released (http://www.krakow2016.com/en ) Please view the official World Youth Day promotional video here Who can attend? The pilgrimage is for both youth and young adults. For the purpose of this pilgrimage, we are defining youth and young adults as the following: Youth • generally between 16-18 years old • at least 16 years old by time of departure (July 22, 2016) -- exceptions may be made for those teens attending with a parent • currently enrolled in high school or is in home school • graduated from high school in the spring/summer of 2016 Young Adult • between 18-29 years old • graduated from high school on or before the spring/summer of 2016 What will happen and how will we get there? The basic itinerary for the trip is as follows: - July 19th – Travel to Poland (van from Burlington to Montreal – then a flight to Poland).

  • The Birth of Chinese Nationalism
    The Birth of Chinese Nationalism By Salvatore Babones May 3, 2019 In China, May 4 is Youth Day, a holiday established by the Communist Party in 1949 and celebrated on and off ever since. On this day in 1989, more than 100,000 students demonstrated in Beijing’s Tiananmen Square, a key milestone on road to the tragic events of June 4, when Chinese troops opened fire on the civilians amassed there. This year, China’s president and Communist Party leader, Xi Jinping, has called on students to commemorate a very special Youth Day. But it’s not the 30th anniversary of 1989’s pro- democracy protests that he has in mind. Rather, it is the 100th anniversary of May 4, 1919, that he wants to commemorate. On that day a century ago, another group of students rallied in Tiananmen Square. In May 1919, the leaders of World War I’s victorious allies were meeting in Paris to determine the shape of the postwar world. Most Westerners know that the resulting Treaty of Versailles profoundly influenced subsequent European history through the foundation of the League of Nations, the rise of Adolf Hitler, and eventually World War II. Some may even know how the peace treaty, the Balfour Declaration, and the Sykes-Picot Agreement created the modern Middle East. But Westerners are less aware that the Treaty of Versailles also helped set in motion the series of events that led to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the Chinese Civil War, and today’s tensions between the United States and China over freedom of navigation in the South China Sea.

  • International Youth Day: Despite Interest, African Youth Not Connecting with Political Processes
    Dispatch No. 41 | 12 August 2015 International Youth Day: Despite interest, African youth not connecting with political processes Afrobarometer Dispatch No. 41 | Sibusiso Nkomo and Eleanor du Plooy Summary A majority of African youth are interested in public affairs and discuss politics with those around them, but relatively low levels of civic engagement and political participation suggest a disconnect between the continent’s “youth bulge” and democratic processes. These results of a new Afrobarometer analysis are being released in observance of International Youth Day (12 August), whose 2015 theme focuses on youth civic engagement and its implications for development. (For more on International Youth Day, please visit http://www.un.org/youthenvoy/2015/06/join-international-youth-day-2015-celebrations/.) Data from six rounds of Afrobarometer surveys in more than 30 African countries suggest that African youth are not fully engaged in formal political processes, such as voting in elections, as well as in more informal modes of engagement, such as meeting with community members and contacting political representatives. Youth participation in protests or demonstrations seems to vary with in-country conditions, and youth overwhelmingly reject the use of violence for political ends. Afrobarometer survey Afrobarometer is a pan-African, non-partisan research network that conducts public attitude surveys on democracy, governance, economic conditions, and related issues across more than 30 countries in Africa. Five rounds of surveys were conducted circa 2000, 2002, 2004, 2008, and 2012, and Round 6 surveys are currently under way (2014-2015). Afrobarometer conducts face-to-face interviews in the language of the respondent’s choice with nationally representative samples of between 1,200 and 2,400 respondents.

  • May in the Far East Asian Culture Club 5/13/2021 China
    May in the Far East Asian Culture Club 5/13/2021 China May 1 Labor Day 劳动节 Láodòng jié Labor Day China has several public holidays of national character. These holidays include 1 May - Labor Day. Until 2008, this holiday was celebrated for seven days, however later the Chinese government decided to reduce the number of off-days to three in favor of other traditional Chinese holidays. The history of International Workers' Day in China started in 1919, when the intelligentsia initiated insurgencies in Shanghai. Later, in 1920, Beijing and Shanghai held the first-ever demonstration in honor of all workers. Officially, this holiday was established and approved by the Chinese government in 1949. During the “cultural revolution” May Day in China was considered, almost the most important holiday in the country. Amplitudinous rallies and demonstrations across China were organized to celebrate this Day. The holiday was more of a political character. However, at the end of XX century, the situation changed dramatically. Today Labor Day in China is a sort of a cheerful family holiday. During these three days of holidays, the Chinese go to the country, meet friends, and attend solemn events. Many people visit theaters and exhibitions. The streets of the Chinese cities hold demonstrations and performances. May Day holidays is the best time to visit China, because at this period of year, the government gives permission for discounts. Not only can you visit the main attractions of the country at discounted prices, but also to go shopping. May 4 Youth Day In the People's Republic of China, Youth Day celebrated on May 4.
