       As I progressed throughout effectively completing the My Peacebuilders Foundation online course, I was enlightened on some useful and practical information that I will now pass on over to you, as this information is applicable in being a beacon change and development in Society. 
      There is need for an adult or youth in Society to implement change and development for conflict resolutions to various forms of conflict that may be present. As a result, in my community there is predominance of juvenile 'gang' recruitments, gun violence, poverty which is interlinked with unemployment and other forms of abuse as a result such as domestic violence, drug and substance abuse, child abuse; developing food insecurity with overconsumption of natural resources; to name a few. There are individuals in society who stand for a change, however we are lacking authoritative personnel to set an example in this decorum for the perpetrators and possible victims to acknowledge these various forms of conflict present in their lives. Conflict resolution is independent of social hierarchy, gender or age. Therefore, I urge you as an inhabitant of Earth to make this first step towards peace and choose love and kindness for future generations to prosper. 
        I believe adults can provide a stabilized support system at home and within the communal educational systems as they can advocate and promote the importance of peacebuilding by implementing educational awareness programmes amongst other parents, teachers, members of the community, students etc. through the use of parent support organizations and they can promote the importance or peace and incorporate effective conflict resolution methods amongst the youth present in their household to further the educational enhancement and application of peacebuilding in future generations of the youth.
         In the savannah located in my country's capital, as the root of change can readily occur in the 'heart' of the nation to therefore encourage and make a statement of the importance of empathy, conflict resolutions and inter-linking with peacebuilding that would be visibly noticed from the working class, the educational institutions, the media broadbands, the political personnel and the elderly, as the capital is the symbol of conveying this beacon of change and development in our community.
           The United Nations established the Sustainable Development Goals as part of achieving the Envison2030 initiative as this global organization recognized the immediate requirement for change, however these are just words unless the heads of state and other authoritative personnel, including community members pay heed to these words. SDG #13, #14 and #15 highlights Climate Action, Life below water, and Life on land respectively. Communities members or you as an inhabitant of the Earth should respect the elements present that allow us to survive. The earth's love is not unrequited, therefore we must implement or re-instate the environmental preservation legislations  in order to protect the natural flora and fauna present in our ecosystem to preserve ecosystem stability and biological diversity; implement the graphical measure of the Maximum Sustainable Yield that was produced for the forestry and fisheries sector to prevent  over-harvestation of the stock species i.e. fish for example, by implementing a qouta for individuals who may have overconsumed/captured a greater weight of species that is not allowed, therefore with the concept of sustainable yield this will protect both life on land and life below water to therefore protect, conserve and manage the environment. Thus, by implementing 'Plant A Tree' programmes this would prevent the increasing temperatures impressed on the earth as there would be replacement for the CO2 lost when trees/forestry were degraded during slash and burn or land clearing for industrialization within the economical sector to therefore represent a beacon for climate change. Additionally, bio-prospecting can be implemented as a non-consumptive use of natural resources on land and in water as the species are not harvested/consumed or harmed, and this can be used in the tourism sector, as part of achieving environmental sustainability. 
        In conclusion, I urge you to take initiatives towards peacebuilding in society, tackle and develop cognitive skills for conflict resolutions. Conflict can be environmental, personal, sociological, psychological, communal; but by implementing a minor change can cause a 'ripple effect' for other youths, adults, elderly, authoritative personnel in society to result in the necessary beacon of hope and healing to promote sustainability interlinked with kindness, communal peace, leading to love and peacebuilding to broaden the horizon of opportunities for future generations.

This may seem like my last word and or a final statement, but this is so far from that... 

This experience, being my second of completing a peacebuilding course always leaves me with such a prominent takeaway and such an ability to apply what I've learned into my everyday life. I highly enjoy how interactive the course is and how it takes a historical approach when explaining how something has evolved to be. I also really enjoy the audio recordings and almost like face-to-face talks with other students and their take on the topic being talked about. Additionally, the padlets are highly useful when analyzing my own thoughts and feeling a safe space to share my input. I believe this course is one of the most beneficial things I've done outside of school to improve my own self and learning capabilities as well as how to apply such important life tips into my life. 

Thank you to everyone who participates in this experience, and thank you to those who have organized this extraordinary online course.

Best,
Student ]]> 2023-04-07 20:54:19 UTC https://padlet.com/YouthPeaceAction/a7wusxwcoabhashr/wish/2547376950 https://padlet.com/YouthPeaceAction/a7wusxwcoabhashr/wish/2547418821 Nothing ever worth doing was easy, it takes time and hard work to make progress. ]]> 2023-04-08 00:05:56 UTC https://padlet.com/YouthPeaceAction/a7wusxwcoabhashr/wish/2547418821 https://padlet.com/YouthPeaceAction/a7wusxwcoabhashr/wish/2548139547 Things will get better.
