Indigenous Youth Xchange Radio - Youth with disabilities In South Africa
Tevin August is an inspiring young man from Coronationville in Johannesburg West. He was born with a form of Cerebal Palsy which is a group of disorders that affect a person's ability to move, maintain balance and posture.
He has never allowed his disability to hinder his forward progression both mentally, physical or emotionally; in actual fact it has given him a strong mental capacity and a unique outlook when it comes to taking on life and all its hardships and challenges.

Disrupting The Legacy Of Colonization - Emerson Munduruku
Emerson Munduruku is a young artist, scientist, and educator from the Munduruku people of the Amazon. Through his drag persona, Uyra Sodoma, Emerson blurs the lines between human, animal, and plant. Whether out in the streets of the Amazonian city of Manaus, or in the sterilized space of the art gallery, Emerson disrupts colonial narratives of wilderness, gender, and environmental destruction as he mesmerizes audiences. Emerson spoke with Cultural Survival about his decolonial, queer performances, and about his hopes for both the art world and western science.

Youth In Need Of Self Belief And Positive Role Models
The youth population was projected to increase by over 78 million from 2021 to 2030, with low-income countries contributing to nearly half of this growth. It is essential for education and training systems to adapt to this challenge.
High-quality apprenticeships, carefully planned internships, and volunteering programs can serve as valuable entry points into the job market for first-time jobseekers and recent graduates.
Jean Mary Tjiohimba, who is from the Khwe community of South Africa talks to us about the successes and struggles of the Youth in her community.
Sistemas alimentarios Indígenas, una esperanza global
Los sistemas alimentarios de los Pueblos Indígenas son una esperanza frente a las crisis alimentarias globales, pues estos sistemas promueven y conservan la diversidad, son respetuosos con la Madre Tierra, no agotan los recursos naturales, no usan agroquímicos, aseguran una alimentación más rica en nutrientes y una mejor salud. En el marco del Día de la Gastronomía Sostenible te invitamos a aprender y reflexionar sobre este tema a través de voces de personas Indígenas que envían su palabra desde México, Guatemala, Colombia y Brasil.
