    South African youth Hands-on articles Analysing the construction of South African youth in historical-related images and texts around the time of 16 June 2011 Siobhan Glanvill School of Education University of the Witwatersrand [email protected] By idolizing those whom we honour, we do a disservice to them and to ourselves… We fail to recognize that we could go and do likewise. (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. Keywords : Media; Construction of youth; Commemoration; Icons; June 16 2011; History lessons; Youth agency. Introduction Since 1994, June 16 has been a public holiday known as YouthDay. !is day, like Women’s Day (9 August), has become distanced from its original meaning in that both these days are seen by many as celebrating the present 1 JW Loewen, Lies my teacher told me (!e New Press: New York, 1995) p. 9. 169 Yesterday&Today, No.

  • 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).

  • And St. Patrick's
    CB14-FF.02 Jan. 15, 2014 Irish-American Heritage Month (March) and St. Patrick’s Day (March 17): 2014 Originally a religious holiday to honor St. Patrick, who introduced Christianity to Ireland in the fifth century, St. Patrick’s Day has evolved into a celebration for all things Irish. The world’s first St. Patrick’s Day parade occurred on March 17, 1762, in New York City, featuring Irish soldiers serving in the English military. This parade became an annual event, with President Truman attending in 1948. Congress proclaimed March as Irish-American Heritage Month in 1995, and the President issues a proclamation commemorating the occasion each year. Sports Celebration of Irish Heritage 100,003 Population of South Bend, Ind., home to the Fighting Irish of the University of Notre Dame.

  • Chinese Or Lunar New Year
    Teaching About Lunar New Year Dr. Margaret Hill Chinese New Year, or Spring Festival, falls on the first day of the first month of the new lunisolar calendar each year. The Lantern Festival that falls on the fifteenth day brings an end to the New Year season, though for China and other Asian countries, Spring Festival is a week-long holiday. Across Asian cultures that use the lunisolar calendar, it may be referred to simply as Lunar New Year.
