Global youth connect
guatemala human rights study tour for young leaders
january 2 – 16, 2005
application deadline: october 15, 2004
global youth connect invites young leaders (ages 18-25) interested in expanding their knowledge and understanding of human rights and social justice to join us for a 2-week study tour to guatemala. This experiential education program will take participants to guatemala city, antigua, and quetzaltenango to explore the range of human rights issues that are currently impacting guatemala's development. We will explore the roots of the violent conflict which held guatemala in its grasp for almost four decades and learn how this legacy of violence has impacted the country and its people. Participants will meet with leading human rights defenders, government representatives, youth and others from local communities to learn about the political and social challenges faced by guatemalans. We will also connect with young guatemalans in quetzaltenango in an interactive workshop designed to build cross-cultural understanding. Through hands-on service activities, participants will also have a chance to work side-by-side with guatemalans in finding positive solutions to social and economic concerns. We will consider the ways in which we can help raise awareness on the issues and provide collaborative support to guatemalans who are already working to create change. The inspiration for this project comes from the story of eva morales, a guatemalan human rights defender who helped found global youth connect in the hope that it would serve as a place for young people to act together for human rights, responsibilities and compassion. In this spirit she has been helping to connect and support young guatemalans, providing them with the tools and the space they need to heal from the violence and trauma they experienced during the war. This is a very unique opportunity for young leaders who wish to learn more about the daily reality of human rights as experienced in a complex and increasingly globalized world. We hope to work together with guatemalan youth to explore possible solutions to current problems. We aim to explore the roots of violence and explore the avenues for healing from conflict. We desire to learn from each other and understand the impact of our actions on the lives of others. Our greatest hope is that our efforts will add to the forces already at work to create change. And, at the end of the day, we hope we will successfully traverse cultural and national barriers by connecting at a fundamentally human level, forging bonds of friendship that will last our lifetimes.
