It is much more than both this and the superficial idea that the capital has breached a particular threshold, or measure, of cultural diversity. The language of ‘diversity’ �" be it in academic circles or economic city branding or political slogans �" renders the experiences we are concerned with in this book into a succession of surface clichés or flat travesties.

But if this target is to be met, more money will be needed to support children with disabilities in developing countries, a vulnerable population that is too often excluded from the classroom. Ali Moussa and Mahmoud are sixth graders in Zanzibar. Both boys are nearly blind and use recording devices and braille machines to read. But, thanks to their school and teacher, they are able to keep pace with their peers in the mainstream primary school that they attend.

The phenomenon of craft beers �" increasingly popular in the young ex-Yugoslav republic �" seems to challenge two great truths of contemporary Croatia: the scourge of youth emigration and the country's inability to absorb the European funds at its disposal. The stories of Barba, Bura, Plavuša, NovaRunda, Varionica, Zmajsko, and other craft beers that have recently popped up on the other side of the Adriatic speak of Croatian youths who have decided to stay in (or return to) their country and pursue their passions, often with the help of EU funding.

With Uganda's average GDP per capita at USD $604.00, daily use of social media or messaging apps could eat up three percent of the average Ugandan's annual earnings.

Yet the debate at the political level appears to suggest a major migration crisis. The crisis is not migration. The crisis is mismanagement and indecision by political leaders. Five years ago, Italian and EU leaders stood in silence as they watched coffins pile up in a warehouse on the island of Lampedusa. "Coffins of babies, coffins with the mother and the child that was born just at that moment. This is something that profoundly shocked me," Jose Manuel Barroso, then EU commission president, said following his visit.

But for more than 150 million girls and boys between the ages of 5 and 17 around the world, childhood means something else: poverty, a lack of education and working long hours in dangerous conditions.

Over the last decade, Under the Same Sun, a Canadian group working with people with albinism, estimates that over 200 people with albinism, many of them children, have been killed in Africa or had their body parts amputated. They say at least 75 people with albinism have been killed in Tanzania since 2006. Faced with increased international scrutiny, Tanzania began to mobilize resources to fight off traffickers and protect people with albinism.

The prosecution of Noura Hussein, forcibly married at the age of 16, has triggered global outrage and drawn attention to the millions of girls worldwide who are married against their will. A high-profile campaign has been initiated to overturn Hussein’s death sentence, with celebrities such as Naomi Campbell, Emma Watson, and former Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard lending their support.

These strikes are the first of their kind in the UK, instigated by a new generation of trade union members fighting for better pay and fairer working conditions. At the Wales Institute of Social and Economic Research, Data and Methods (WISERD for short), we’ve been following these strikes on social media and at the picket lines, to discover what’s driving this fledgling movement, and how it differs to those that went before.

Data for military casualties are difficult to ascertain. An original version of this article tallied solely reports of casualties released by the Department of Defense, which indicated that 13 members of the military had been killed while deployed, compared to 27 schoolchildren who’d died in five shooting incidents this year involving fatalities.

Fifty miles from the nearest big city, the air is fresh and the pace of life is slow. But for one young man, the town’s seaside location offered no contentment. He was stockpiling weapons and planning an act of terrorism. Connor Ward lived in a gray, semi-detached apartment building a short walk from Banff’s marina, where dozens of small boats are docked and fishermen depart each day on a hunt for mackerel or sea trout. Inside his home, 25-year-old Ward was plugged into a different kind of world. He was reading neo-Nazi propaganda on the internet about an imminent race war.

We are all aware that our school systems are coordinated, monitored and assessed according to some vague �oeEuropean” standards or criteria. In general we don’t object to that: we consider the Europeanization of our education systems as a guarantee of quality, of good functioning and also as a sign of that international cooperation, of European integration, which we increasingly need to fend off provincialism and nationalism. Everything fine, then? No, not exactly. Unfortunately, things are more complicated than they appear. Let us see why. The Europeanisation of education systems is a recent development. Theoretically, education should be the responsibility of member states: education in European countries has always been a national affair, functional to the consolidation of the identity and culture of a community. Each educational system has had its own history, linked to the evolution of its policy, geography, traditions, language and society.

Child labor and other human rights abuses on tobacco farms in Zimbabwe tarnish the tobacco industry’s contributions to the country’s economic growth and improved livelihoods. The 105-page report, �oeA Bitter Harvest: Child Labor and Human Rights Abuses on Tobacco Farms in Zimbabwe,” documents how children work in hazardous conditions, performing tasks that threaten their health and safety or interfere with their education. Child workers are exposed to nicotine and toxic pesticides, and many suffer symptoms consistent with nicotine poisoning from handling tobacco leaves.

On the surface, the 15-year-old appeared calm, but he was a Nigerian Muslim boy attending an overnight camp�"with Christians. He knew better than to let his guard down. He hated Christians. He had good reason. Christians murdered two of his aunts and his uncle. Because of Christians, Abdul and his family fled their home three times in the last decade. Because of Christians, they lived off scraps, and he was behind in school. Because of Christians, he couldn’t get his mom to a hospital, and she almost died.

His outfit is carefully coordinated: modern circular glasses, flashy pants covered with images of tigers that he designed himself, a matching scarf. He claims that he was a shy child, an absurd idea to anyone who encounters him. He has unique charisma: when he talks, you’re drawn to listen. I met him at his presentation called �oeImpact Beyond Measure” �" a powerful testament to how his time as one of Sierra Leone’s Golden Kids sculpted the rest of his life. Pascal was born at the dawn of Sierra Leone’s long and brutal civil war. He grew up in its shadows. The conflict lasted for 11 long years, during which sexual abuse against women was rampant, children were recruited as soldiers, human rights violations were widespread. He discovered himself at the war’s resolution in 2002. Around this time, his father sent him to live with his aunt, Frances Fortune, who then served as Country Director for Search �" Sierra Leone.

And the second obvious observation is that citizens’ participation will progressively shrink, as the young will age. What is worrying is that we have too many polls on the reasons behind the political disenchantment of young people to think that the political system is unaware. On the contrary, many political analysts think that parties in power don’t mind abstentions in general terms. It shrinks the voters to those who feel connected, whose priorities are clear and simpler to satisfy, as the older generations feel more secure than the younger ones. And the theme of young people is disappearing in the political debate, or is merely rhetorical. A good example is that the Italian government devoted in 2016 a whopping 20 billion dollars to save four banks, while it dedicated a total of 2 billion dollars to create jobs for young people, in a country which has close to 40 percent youth unemployment. For youth, the message is clear: finance is more important than their future. So they do not vote, and they are less and less a factor in the political system.

This is the first report of its kind to be released after the Arab Spring, and details how young people are more politically aware and motivated to achieve their civil and human rights.

With textbooks only revised every 5-10 years, the analysis reveals the need for governments to urgently reassess their textbooks to ensure that they reflect core values for sustainable development, including human rights, gender equality, environmental concern, global citizenship and peace and conflict resolution.

How nice it is to know that "our Western lifestyle" serves as a shining example for Iranian youth and as a "target of their desires". We convince ourselves that the young people will be able through the "power of subtle provocation" (Focus) to bring about the "end of the dictatorship" (Welt am Sonntag). [...] At any rate, Iran's leaders seem to be much more flexible and capable of learning than we like to think. Perhaps they have long since learned to accept raves and rock concerts as part of reality and even see some benefits in them. "The milder despotisms are the more permanent ones," wrote Peter Sloterdijk in a theoretical dissertation on "Stress and Freedom". This is because mild despotisms offer "subjects enough pleasant pastimes to compensate for existence under the yoke of subordination."

Massive fraud was committed, but somehow, no one actually perpetrated it. Political elites promised that �oereforms” would bring unprecedented prosperity. And they did, but only for the top 1%.

As adults, they would remember childhoods spent in shacks, hovels, or the streets, deprived of the fulfillment and hope that comes with an education. But the costs of a lost education extend far beyond feelings and emotions. When an education stops �" or is stolen �" children lose the protection of schools. Many are exploited. Young girls are targeted by traffickers and vanish into an abyss of unimaginable depravity. Young boys are forced into factories or the front lines of war. With adults often banned from working in their country of refuge, those children lucky enough to have living parents are pushed into labor �" wherever they can find it �" to provide their families with some miniscule income.

But very few politicians have raised a far more important question: how can it be that such nihilistic, vengeful and bloody discourse as that promoted by Daesh (IS) is immune to all enlightenment, to the massive media machine and to all of the intensive international efforts to put a stop to it?

The reality looks rather different. President Beji Caid Essebsi is 89 and during his election campaign he said repeatedly: "youth is a mental, not a physical state." He wants to get Tunisia on the right path and then hand it over to the youth. Only the youth don’t believe in that, they don’t feel they are being taken seriously and they can’t get a foothold in the established political parties. They stay away from the polling booths: only 12.5 percent of 18-21-year-olds voted in the parliamentary elections a year ago. According to a study by the World Bank, in Tunisian cities, only just under a third of young people have faith in the political system; in rural areas that figure is less than ten percent.

Shiraz Maher of the International Center for the Study of Radicalization (ICSR) at King’s College London identifies a common thread of sentiment among recruits: �oerighteous indignation, defiance, a sense of persecution, and a refusal to conform.” As a recent Quilliam Foundation report concludes, Daesh plays on the youthful desire to be part of something worthwhile; it is the organization’s utopian appeal that is most alluring to new recruits.

South Sudan’s civil war began in December 2013, when soldiers loyal to President Salva Kiir and former Vice President Riek Machar, now the rebel leader, fought in Juba, the capital.

The images were intolerable and devastating, just as the suicidal terror that ripped apart communities in southern Beirut a day before demanded equal condemnation. French President François Hollande has now called for a "pitiless war" in response, as if we have somehow emerged from an age of compassion and human togetherness? Such tragedies compel us to write, trying to make sense of the senselessness, hoping to gain some insight into its randomness, which only reaffirms the insecure and fragile nature of our times. Words continue to fail us. And yet I have been haunted by the comments of a dear friend, who writing of her family's safety in Paris at the time, added, "so I'll now go home. And think tomorrow about how I shall explain this all to my children?" This personal reflection speaks volumes. It should be at the forefront of our attentions.

Approximately one year after the murders and forced disappearances, the truth is still buried. But the implications of these crimes are obvious. The whereabouts of the 43 students from the Normal Rural School Isidro Burgos of Ayotzinapa remains unknown. We don’t know whether they are alive or dead. Their fathers and mothers continue to live in daily anguish.

Correspondingly, the psychologist Ahmad Mansour claimed in the journal Der Spiegel that terrorist violence is caused by ideological indoctrination, which can be traced back to the patriarchal structures found in Muslim families and the Muslim community. For far too long, such views have not been questioned. Studies have shown that the majority of criminal jihadists born and raised in Germany or elsewhere in Europe were not religious before their radicalisation. A report published by Edwin Bakker, a Dutch researcher on the topic of radicalisation, confirms this. He studied the profiles of 313 jihadist criminals who had been sentenced in connection with terrorist attacks or attempts. Only five percent of those convicted grew up in religious families. Almost half had spent their childhood and adolescent years in an almost entirely secular environment.

Technology promises to expand the reach of compelling teachers while significantly reducing costs. In the last couple of years, massive online classes (MOOCs) have been prominent in debates concerning the future of higher education. Those who want to see universities become much more narrowly utilitarian embrace the classes as quick paths to the certification of marketable skills. Similarly, those who fear the further commercialization of universities see the technology of MOOCs as contributing to growing alienation and depersonalization in higher education.
