With a "Be the Change" (BTC) group at a local high school, F.H. Collins, we`ve developed a "sister school" in Afghanistan, with whom we will be communicating with, sharing stories and resources with each other! -- That is one of the ongoing projects we`re working on, and is sure to generate some powerful ideas and inspirations from!! I`m excited!

This relationship, between me/TIG and the BTC group has reminded me the power in simple networks, like with school social groups!

This month (November) I was able to be a part of a Youth General Assembly for the Selkirk First Nation, in the community of Pelly. There I co-facilitated an anti-bullying workshop called "The Rhythm of Respect," with two BYTE staff, and two local dj/musicians. We were off the heezy. The youth were 96% First Nation, 4% Caucasion, and took in our drama`s, illustrations, and testimonies well! We used drama, hip-hop and breakdancing, and personal stories to share the power and energy that is created when people live together with respect, like what happens when people stay in rhythm!

Also this month, actually, late October, my friends at the Boys Girls Club (staff and youth) stayed outside a Gov. building from 5am-5pm to raise attention about the increasing need for a Youth Shelter. This brouth radio play to the crisis of Youth not having a safe place to go to if their homes/living spaces are not safe. It also brought radio attention to TIG, and our two main partner org`s in the Yukon, BYTE the Boys Girlz Club.

And lastly, Jonno from BYTE, Bringing Youth Towards Equality, where I work out of, and I hosted some of the youth from the BG Club for a Guide to Action workshop. Together, we made posters of what we hate, what we love, and how we can work towards seeing and living more of what we love in our community! It was night when I was reminded of the preciousness of youth. Many of these youth use the BG Club as a result of having no place, nor no one, else to chill/chill with. So it was a powerful hour 1/2 of ice cream, mocha`s and sharing. It was sweet!!!

Hugs and High Fives to All,

Yukon Youth Unite for Each Other!!!! Others before Self!!!!]]> Thu, 27 Sep 2007 17:54:00 EDT http://Yukon-Kenny.tigblog.org/post/261065 60.7166667 -135.0560.7166667-135.05 http://Yukon-Kenny.tigblog.org/post/161393 I am not one to speak outside my expertise, but Baird must be! He says it is time to act and cut greenhouse gas emissions. Who knows the best strategies of cutting emissions? Who knows, feels, and witnesses the direct problem linked to climate change (the increasing warmer Arctic)??? When was the last time Baird traveled on an Acrctic ice-road that has been in existence longer than cars?
The mandate of the Northern Climate Exchange is to provide independent information, develop shared understanding and promote action on climate change.
Thus, the Government of Canada needs the N.C.E, and the N.C.E needs the Government of Canada.
Write your Canadian M.P with your comments.
