Hi, Guys My name is Yannick OHO BAMBE and I am a youth worker and activist, based in London in the UK, a young man myself and someone who is really passionate about young people. I have recently created an e-petition to humanise the current Education systems in the UK and in the World as a way to provide long term solutions to problems of youth violence that we often see in our communities in the UK and around the World. I believe that if we can teach young kids how to become better men and women from the age of 4 or 5 years old, then we can help prevent a lot of the problems with youth violence that we see in our communities today. This e-petition was created in direct response to the riots we've all witnessed around the World. I would like to take this e-petition to Prime Minister Cameron and then if enough young people around the world support it, then to other world leaders as well. Please find details about this e-petition on line at http://www.petitions24.net/campaign_to_humanize_our_education_system and the open letter that I have addressed to Mr David Cameron on http://youtu.be/LqhWvApeIo8 Please let me know what you think about this and pass it round. Hope to hear from you soon. Yannick

Hello all, I just wanted to add something to this blog so it could get started.

My name is Adrian and I'm doing the Katimavik program, Its a six month program where you go to different places around Canada and volunteer at various organizations. At the moment I have been posted at TIG (what luck =D) one of the reasons Ive created this blog. So all to say that I want to welcome who's interested in posting various things about youth. From a book they read to something they learned or even some image that represents in their eyes youth.

Cheers Adrian
