Story: Open mindedness can be a painful process. One has to sometimes accept the situations that, many people will have different narratives. And one will witness situations where, the weak or the less privilege in our society will be confronted with injustice. Open mindedness can be a struggle. We are challenged to escape our comfort zones and accept to study the unknown. It is our responsibility to educate ourselves.

Story: 2020 was the testimony that we are all on the same boat. The story about COVID19 which broke out at one place affects the entire continent. The so-called refugee crises in many places are the result of insecurity in other parts of the world. The economic situation in many countries and the political instability in many parts of the world contributed to the crises. Many die in the desert, some get drown in the sea and many are trapped in refugee camps whiles others have their lives in the hands of criminals.
Our negative action on nature which contributes to the rapid climate change affects everyone and everything. Racism and prejudices affect all parties. We are all on the same boat.

Story: Young people are on their knees asking for peace for humanity and nature. Please hear their cry!
You people took to the streets on Fridays for future. The Adults accused the young people of disobedience. Greta Thunberg was accused of launching attack on world leaders. Her young age was used against her and her level of experienced in life was presented be unqualified to discuss certain matters.
Those who should be discussing for the future today should be people, who have the chance of seeing the future not those who have already lived their future. This doesn’t mean the older generation has no future, but young should also have an equal right in contributing to the future.
That, children took to the street on Fridays instead of attending their various classes in their various schools across the globe, it was presented by the world leaders and their media as, ignorant kids which are throwing away their future.
Shortly after, the world was confronted with a pandemic which resulted not only in closing down classes on Fridays but the entire life of the majority of people on earth.
Young people were on the street in Nigeria, Senegal, Uganda, France, Hong Kong, in the United State of America and many parts of the world.
The Younger generation is seeking to take responsibility for the future.

Story: There are many social constructs, standards and prejudices that limit group of people in society such as colourism. There are systemic practices which deprive many groups of people of their basic rights. The right to have a choice and to be valued and respected have been the fight for many groups in the recent years.
We have cultural and societal chains and boxes in which we are fixed into or we fix inn ourselves. Limiting the progress of one another! Living some in joy and others in hell!
The Guardian published an article on 19. 06. 2019 which stated that “More than 70 million people now fleeing conflict and oppression worldwide.” Many took to the street in fight for freedom and breaking the chains that hold us apart. War and terrorism on innocent lives climax in the last decades.
We have the responsibility to set ourselves free!
