<\/a>At the opening of the course \u201cYouth and Human Rights Activism\u201d, the director of the European and Ibero-American Academy of Yuste Foundation, Juan Carlos Moreno Pi\u00f1ero, claimed that these sessions are \u201cdifferent and necessary because they speak of the present but above all of the future\u201d. In his opinion, the issue has an impact on civil society and young people in particular since more than sixty people from twelve countries have enrolled, \u201cand not in all these countries, he stated, is respect for human rights sufficiently guaranteed\u201d. <\/strong>(18\/07\/2023)<\/p>\nMoreno Pi\u00f1ero highlighted the students\u2019 great interest in the contents of the course, which demonstrates their commitment to values and human rights and at the same time, he said, \u201cremember that there are many other young people of your age who are listening to us and who risk their freedom and even their life to defend the fact that we can all express our ideas freely, to defend equality between men and women or that no one is better than anyone else because of their different skin colour\u201d. Thus, the director of the Foundation asked the students enrolled to be authentic activists committed to the defence of human rights because \u201cit is in your generation where much of the hope for the future of humanity lies\u201d.<\/p>\n
In turn, the PhD in Latin Philology from the University of Extremadura, Marta Ramos Gran\u00e9, explained that, as a humanist, she considers that rights and the struggle to achieve them is one of the engines of society. She, therefore, affirmed that advancement and progress come hand in hand with dialectics and in her opinion, \u201cwithout debate, we are lost\u201d. To conclude, Ramos assured that despite living in a world that is dehumanised and individualistic, \u201cthere are still people willing to fight and defend other people and the role of activism and associationism to achieve change is therefore important\u201d.<\/p>\n
To close the floor for discussion of the opening, the vice-rector of Students, Employment and Mobility of the University of Extremadura, Alicia Gonz\u00e1lez P\u00e9rez, expressed her satisfaction because the course \u201cYouth and Human Rights Activism\u201d intends to reflect on the importance of youth activism promoted by different media and platforms \u201cto work on building a better, more sustainable, inclusive future that respects human rights\u201d she affirmed. In the the vice-rector\u2019s opinion, current issues such as new feminisms, migrations, climate actions, social platforms against poverty, digitisation and its impact on society, refugees and migrations \u201care crucial to work the defence of human rights from an institutional and political sphere and from civil society and the third sector\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n
This course, which is taking place at the Monastery of San Jer\u00f3nimo de Yuste, can be followed online via Yuste Foundation\u2019s YouTube channel, thus opening a window to the world.<\/p>\n
