In my experience, I've witnessed firsthand the transformative power of interventions in reshaping not just individuals but entire institutional cultures. By actively involving community members in these settings, we have the opportunity to introduce fresh perspectives and innovative ways of thinking. It's a reciprocal process where both inmates and the community glean valuable insights from one another. This mutual exchange cultivates empathy, dismantles the pervasive us-vs-them mindset, and fosters genuine understanding. In essence, I believe that the pivotal role of credible messengers and community engagement cannot be overstated in enhancing safety and cohesion within our communities. At Youth Empowerment, we share this conviction and are committed to championing empathy, understanding, and authentic connection as the cornerstones of our efforts to effect positive change.

I'm sure many can relate both on a professional and personal level. Those strategies (often mislabelled as some "disorder" or another) that once were invaluable in helping us to survive in a chaotic environment, raised and surrounded by unsafe individuals were indeed brilliantly adapative. But over time, in safer contexts, they are ultimately maladative, leaving us struggling to cope with life. Teachers, primary carers, foster carers, youth workers, Foster carers et al - less judgement, more understanding. This goes for ourselves too.

Around 80 million* #children are working in hazardous conditions, enduring long hours in extreme heat and exposure to toxic chemicals that can make them very ill. 📷 Today, we feature Pocholo Gonzales' #CreativeChange '05 #photography submission, highlighting the poverty and harsh working conditions faced by children at Payatas, the #Philippines' largest open dumpsite. ❗ Today, June 12th, is World Day Against Child Labor, a crucial reminder of the urgent need to protect the rights of children worldwide. Every child deserves a childhood free from exploitation, with the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive. 🌍❤️ 🎨 At Arts for Global Development, Inc. , we believe in the transformative power of the arts. #Creative activities not only provide a safe space for children to express themselves but also play a vital role in their psycho-social and cognitive development. Through #arts education, we can help build a future where every #child has the chance to shine. ✨ 📢 Let's advocate for policies that protect #childrenrights and support initiatives that #empower them through #education and #creativity. Together, we can make a difference! #WorldDayAgainstChildLabour #NoChildLabour #ChildRights #EndChildLabour #art4development TakingITGlobal #ArtForChange #EducationForAll #art #steameducation #unitednations #sdgs #sdg4 Source: *Human Rights Watch
