Discussie Groepen

Has our theme got you thinking? Want to talk about it? Come onto our discussion board to interact with other members and talk about a wide range of topics concerning this month's theme of Rural Youth. Chat about the poverty cycle, migration, or the effects of corporations buying up farmland and how these issues are affecting everyone around the world. You can also visit other boards like Employment, Poverty & Globalization, Education, Cultural Diversity & Equity or Environment to further your conversation. Bespreek!

Globale Galerij

Global Gallery's Rural Section Competition was entitled "Rice."

Overal waar het wordt geteeld, gaat rijst het leven van de mensen binnen, niet alleen als een dagelijks voedsel, maar ook op religieuze festivals, in schilderijen, mythen, en met liederen. Rijst is voedsel - maar meer dan een levensmiddel. "Het medium is de boodschap": Rijst is de samenleving, de cultuur, de politiek, de zakenwereld, de schoonheid van een landschap, de mensen in hun gemeenschap.

For the month of April 2004, TakingITGlobal and the Global Gallery were asking youth to create their artwork using rice as an element of expression. Visit the Global Gallery.

Begrip

Need to learn more about the issues affecting Rural Youth? Try our understanding section. In understanding, you can learn how the poverty cycle works, how education problems differ from region to region and why migration may be one of the most important issues that we are facing right now. If you live in a rural area, you can find the experiences of those who live in the same conditions but in different cultures. Thanks to the FAO we can also learn more about what programs are in place and how to make a difference. Know more through Understanding!
