Six Archetypes of Youth Change Makers
|
Since the founding of TakingITGlobal in 1999, I have been incredibly inspired by my interactions with thousands of young change makers from all around the world. Through my Masters Research on youth-led action in an international context along with exposure to other studies and international conferences examining the role of today's generation of youth as change agents, I have gained an important observation. My observation is that I have seen the emergence of Six Archetypes of Youth Change Makers, which provide a glance at the roles young people are taking on in the process of creating change.
The Dreamer
The Dreamer is the driver behind new ideas. Dreamers are often the first to articulate a long-term vision for the future and think big. It is the sense of aspiration, optimism and imagination of dreamers that drive progress, innovation and change.
The Megaphone
The Megaphone is a vocal advocate for change. Megaphones are very focused on delivering the message and will campaign tirelessly and work hard to lobby for a message to be heard. They inspire action through their words and help to shift priorities on the agenda.
The Spark Plug
The Spark Plug is a catalyst and has a gift for networking and connecting people. The Spark Plug is able to foster collaborations and bring many different organizations and individuals together in dialogue, convincing diverse interest groups to come together for a common goal.
The Task Master
The Task Master is often behind the scenes making things happen and is sometimes the under-rated player within a group or organization. Often, it is the Task Master who literally keeps things together by turning ideas into manageable tasks with actionable timelines. Task Masters are practical, objective-oriented individuals.
The Sherpa
The Sherpa serves as a guide who provides mentorship, insight and training through peer education. Sherpas are natural educators with a strong interest in learning and sharing knowledge. Sherpas value hands on experiences and are able to draw upon the expertise and resources of those they encounter.
The Storyteller
The Storyteller is often the documenter of an organization and its projects, preparing short stories, interviews, blogs, webcasts newsletters and more. Storytellers become a vehicle for spreading inspiration and sharing of best practices through identifying patterns and strengthening movements through recognizing exceptional individuals.

Equidad Género y Sexo / Sex and Gender Equity.
|
 Yesterday I had the chance to attend a Sex and Gender Equity Workshop @ Mexico City. At first, I had no idea what to expect, because I was invited by a friend I did not see for a long time, and to be honest, that was my main reason for participating.
Ayer tuvé la oportunidad de ir al taller de Equidad de Sexo y Género en la Ciudad de México. Para ser sincera, no tenia idea de que esperar ya que me invitó una amiga junto a su organización. A mi amiga no la había visto en mucho tiempo, por lo que decidí aventurarme y ver lo que sucedería.
As soon as I arrived, I perceived that there where only 3 guys out of 20 participants. It felt funny, and I thought it might have been a workshop directed to girls. As soon as I stepped in the room, I felt integrated to the group and I knew this was going to be another new adventure I had to share with the world :)
Desde que llegué, me di cuenta de que solamente habían 3 hombres de 20 participantes. Pensé que quizás era un taller dirigido a mujeres. Desde que entré a la habitación, me sentí integrada al grupo y supe que sería una nueva aventura que tendría que compartir con el mundo.
In the main activities, we discussed the differences between sex and gender. We agreed that sex is the biological characteristic of every human being, while gender is a construction, our mentality. Society prefers both of them to match, but sometimes people can be born with a particular sex and an opposite gender.
En las actividades principales, discutimos las diferencias entre sexo y género. Concluimos en que el sexo es una característica biológica de los seres humanos, mientras que el género es una construcción, nuestra mentalidad. La sociedad prefiere que los dos sean concuerden, sin embargo, muchas veces la gente puede tener un sexo y un género diferente.
We had another activity when we discussed about the role of women and men in our society and in our generation. It is really interesting how some of the activities that were only for women (such as cooking, cleaning the house, picking up the children from school) are also for men today. It was important to know that some of the participants have mothers that work fulltime and fathers that do the house work. Roles have changed and the sexist taboo has been broken in a lot of families.
Tuvimos otra actividad en donde discutimos el papel de la muher y el hombre en nuestra sociedad y en neustra generación. Fue muy interesante ver como muchas actividades que antes eran solamente para mujeres (como el cocinar, limpiar la casa, ir por los niños a la escuela) también son para los hombres. Fue importante el saber que muchos de los participantes tienen madres que trabajan tiempo completo y padres que se dedican a las labores caseras. Los papeles han cambiado y el tabú sexista se ha roto en muchas familias mexicanas.
We also discussed about gender empowerment. How women have succeeded, leaving their prejudices behind and standing for their rights. There was a great example about some women from an indigenous community where their husbands left them, following the american dream and going to the US. They had to find a way to survive and they started making marmelades for a big restaurant company in Mexico called Toks. Now, they are the main producers and they found an amazing way to support their kids, without depending on men.
También discutimos el empoderamiento de género. Vimos ejemplos de mujeres que dejaron sus prejuicios atrás y fueron por sus derechos. Hubi un ejemplo perfecto de algunas mujeres indígenas de la comunidad mazahua en donde sus esposos e hijos las dejaron, por seguir el sueño americano y se fueron a los Estados Unidos. Ellas tuvieron que encontrar una forma de sobrevivir y comenzaron a hacer mermeladas, las cuales al final pudieron vender a la franquicia de restaurantes mexicanos Toks. Ahora ellas son las únicas productoras y ellas encontraron una manera maravillosa de mantener a sus hijos, sin depender de los hombres.
I leart a lot from this experience, I shared stories and listened to inspiring ones. It was such delight to discuss with different people, with various points of view. I believe we should support this type of activities and let people learn from each other, as well as discover what is changing in our generation in order to become a better society every day.
Aprendí mucho de esta experiencia, compartí historias y escuche otras bastante inspiradoras. Fue una gran oportunidad el compartir diferentes puntos de vista, con gente con ideas distintas. Creo que debemos apoyar este tipo de actividades y dejar que la gente aprenda una de otra, para asi descubrir que esta cambiando en nuestra generación para asi poder formar parte de una mejor sociedad día a día.
Gracias. Thank you.

Voto En BlancO

VOTO EN BLANCO
Por Andrea Arzaba
Muchos la han calificado como una campaña de gente incoherente y ofensiva que quiere dar un fin a la “democracia” que vivimos de una manera radical, muchos otros se refieren a ella como una polémica nueva en donde el pueblo demuestra sus impresiones ante la inconformidad de sus próximos representantes, de una manera diferente. Pero ¿De que trata la campaña del voto en blanco? Muy simple, a la hora de votar se tacha toda la planilla, cancelando el voto por algún candidato en particular.
Es erróneo pensar que al votar en blanco se apoya a la abstención puesto que al anular el voto aún se sigue participando y existe la obligación de ir a las urnas, pedir una planilla y la única diferencia es que en lugar de elegir a un candidato, se tachan todas las opciones. De ésta manera, los ciudadanos muestran su descontento ante la democracia que se vive en el presente en México, y al mismo tiempo en muchos otros países del mundo.
El voto en blanco incita a las autoridades a cambiar de actitud ya que el pueblo se manifiesta mostrando una inconformidad ante la forma de gobierno existente. De esta manera, se reclama una nación que busca una representación justa, que quiere dejar atrás a las viejas generaciones conformistas y llenas de corrupción. Muchos jóvenes han decidido apoyar ésta nueva propuesta, ya que posiblemente desde este punto podamos comenzar con un nuevo partido político, una esperanza latente para las nuevas generaciones.
