we are having a conversation
Adult bush is still identified
with this phrase you are able to
relate to it and smoke
this is clear evidence of some
moment of your life
transcended his estimate by people
for the simple fact of not being
indifferent to what happens around you
despite his young age continuing with
the line of phrases that as young people
we have heard countless times I want
continue defending the classic and
probably even cliche
you are the leaders of tomorrow
for me this phrase is a serious mistake and
I stop already and making this phrase
conditional leadership something like that of
a simple number and for me there is no
no relationship between how long
it’s going around in this world and you
ability to be a leader
that’s why I want to tell you that for me
this phrase sounds better if we change that
tomorrow for today’s leaders for me
from this moment we are
able to start walking towards a
project that we consider a
better reality
this moment the perfect example of what
what am I saying please to be taken
the time to look around and
analyze this situation
all of us are not participants of
an event organized by young people and for
young people for the purpose of discussing
the main taboos of society
today which organizers have
decided to name paradigms since
these have been repeated to the point of
become patterns
I believe that discrimination by
age and the way in which
underestimate the thoughts of
young people is the product of a circle
vicious
these thoughts are passed on
generation after generation as if from a
moral value was treated and is in the
same situation that occurs with what
I perceive as violent extremism
nowadays
now is what this vicious circle
proposes a situation in which we
we are stuck in the same thing and for this and
retake the example uses the principle
suppose a child or a young person is
censored by adults who limit it
they tell you you know that you are very young and
you do not have to be thinking about
these issues situation number one
this young man conforms and assumes that
that you just heard is the product of a
natural strength since it will always be
there present and this force is what
that there is
this young man says now I want I can do
nothing about it
this will always be like this and grow for
be an adult who will follow the
Classic schedule of eight hours daily
working and no longer looking at any
way to move towards the good that is a
more like what it represents for
that person self-realization
now I want to present you with a situation
different in which instead of making
case to the people who said that you
you are able to do something
this young lady this young man does not give them
attention
the things that represents a limitation
for him I made
you know that the time this one could be
the moment I could be the voice that to
a difference that I think about this
that these are the young people who grow up
to become the adults that
eliminate the classic stigma of carrying
a table for the children and a table for
the adults in each scene and the place to
do this they make a single table in the
which includes people of all
ages and I ‘m going to ask you to
please take this as an expression
figurative
I’m not talking about literally
only have a table where there
children and adults
that’s why it’s not so much progress
as I would like to speak but that
we can also take this as
those adults who will be included
the popular youth leadership
I want to continue introducing he is a
character that for me is extremely
relevant to youth at this time
will ask you to please read in your
hands
they say that man on screen or
too much price your honesty the truth
is not to fight this gentleman now
Call Magdalena Oyy is the official
highest junior rank in the history of
the organization of united nations
this gentleman the envoy of the secretary
General of the United Nations for the
Youth in charge of representing 1.8
millions of young people the most generation
large of young people who existed until the
present
the reason why I put it in the
project at this time is because I
I think it has a very interesting point
currently 17 percent of the
young people who are of legal age to
work in their respective countries
they find unemployed are
any number
we are talking about 306,000 million
young people who are excluded from
the world’s workforce
now we are talking about more numbers
big is true
this again take up the situation
that you present previously I’m going to
say because a phrase he said in
his speech that has been my favorite
we are probably the first
generation that is capable of eradicating
extreme poverty but at the same time
we are the last one capable of reversing the
climate change
this is where the question is raised
you want to be part of the
generation that was simply one more
of those that the truth is that the
problem was very big he could not do
nothing to solve it or want to be a
generation that put to work and
managed to get this problem out of the agenda
which considers the goals for the
millennium development
I am going to present now an example of
a youth that put to work
that managed to carry out its mission and
this is the case of guatemala on screen
we have the protests that were made
approximately two months in guatemala
where civilians change to a
tradition that has been standing more or
least since 1789 with the taking of the
Bastille in France from this
time
every time a people the masses
they tired of the tyranny of their leaders
the tendency to take up arms but
what was the case of guatemala and why
I called it a revolution of
21st Century Youth Guatemala
we are not going to say that it is also
excluded from the majors but to me it has
particular attention to the
participation of young people in this
kind of coup d’etat
the youth coordinated protests
peaceful through networks
social a like the one you can see in
screen at this time in front of the
presidency of guatemala that the building
who can see there these people
they exchanged weapons for facebook and
twitter and disabled the networks
social to orchestrate a true
movement that managed to get out of power
force the resignation of his former president
otto pérez molina accused of various
corruption charges
this for me is truly
remarkable especially if we consider
that this country is a brother country is
extremely close to panama
here in Central America and in this country
we could see something that has not happened in
many other first world countries and
it’s the young people taking the leadership of
a popular movement and achieving
overthrow a leader in search of
find transparency without using
March
I want to change the focus a little when giving
this makes a personal experience that
I lived about two years ago
when I was 13
I was doing the work of
volunteering at a foundation of the
location
the foundation friends of the child with
leukemia and cancer
popularly known as fanny mi
work at this time to dictate
children’s craft workshops
specifically sculpture with
clay
The workshop is normally
being practically the teacher for
children that were of a range of age is
about 7 to 15 years old
for children even older than me in
actually they were teenagers rather at
end of the workshop and at the time of
deliver more than the city of
children as a reminder of the work that
we have been doing
I personally handed him a girl
I was nine years old
the question is to castilla-the stain that
are the pink ones because that is
my favorite color a tear and it almost
drained by mejía since the thought
fall at this moment it is fat that is
girl was suffering from leukemia flames was
true
the conclusion that I want them
share with you have experience
in easy is the following
never be surprised with who could
cause the change in your life
there is already personal experience a girl of
9 years of experience that I never
I would have expected it to represent both
for me and specifically for a point
of inflection in my life as was the
this girl’s case only a few
words for changing the way we
I lived now this moment not only
means to me as I told you
before there are young people organizing a
event for young people but also
for me it will be a story that starts
also about two years ago
when he is eighth grade in another
local school is not there when
I studied before she was sitting
a meeting of the debate club of my
previous school
looking towards the screen a talk of
ted similar to the ones you are
seeing at this moment I in his place
I was 13 years old and I was extremely
surprised because he’s seeing by
first time and today it has been played that
I could do it in 20 or 30 years
if even I fall into the error that
now I’m asking you please do not
commit
I thought I ‘m still too young to
this what I have done that could be
remarkable that you could know
would like to hear that formidable that
moment I am an entrepreneur I do not
I graduated from college but I gave myself
account of something when I said apply
to become a player between demanding
spirit
and it is that the dreams that we
we can imagine our mind the goals
that we visualize are not going to
approach us unless we
we take a step forward by
fulfill them turn them into reality
that is the reflection that I bring to my
experience of becoming a
person who was just watching
a talk of an event from ted to the
person who is in this moment
share their experiences and their
thoughts on the role of youth
in this precise moment of the hand of a
young as I am I want to leave you with
this last thought a phrase from
former African-American baseball player Jackie
Robinson who said the following
life is not a sport of spectators
If you plan to spend your entire life in
steps
seeing what happens in my opinion is
wasting
I share Jackie’s thoughts
robinson
I think that not only life is not a
sport of spectators but neither
democracy is and that’s why I want
call all the people who are
here present to hear me call
the attention does not waste a single
second more
because beyond that this event of
ted had very few minutes remaining
the legacy of humanity
the legacy of us as people who
They are living second east
millennium the 21st century
our legacy will last much longer than
the minutes left to this
ted conference so do not expect nor
one more second
Do not waste hiatus from the table of
children does to that of adults and
to hear thank you very much
