Through the new Global Nomads\u00a0Student to World: Human Rights<\/em><\/a>\u00a0course, 15-year-old Nasralla Sabri Nasralla from Egypt realized the value of exchanging perspectives with his global peers: to learn from one another in pursuit of a more just world.<\/p>\n

Before the program, Nasralla had limited interactions with \u2014 or knowledge about \u2014 teens in other countries. \u201cI used to spend most of my time playing video games and on social media. I heard news about wars and refugees in the world around me, but I didn\u2019t care about it much,\u201d he professes.<\/p>\n

Student to World: Human Rights introduced Nasralla to the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights, the UN Sustainable Development Goals, and some of the ways in which people throughout the world resist human rights violations and advocate for equality and justice.<\/p>\n

The program features real student stories about human rights conditions in their respective countries and tips for taking concrete action. It was created for youth by youth in Global Nomads\u2019 Content Creation Lab, which brought together 24 high school students from Ecuador, Jordan, South Africa, Turkey, and the U.S. to work on cross-national teams facilitated by college-aged team leaders.<\/p>\n

Teams collaborated to develop thematic programming on topics they felt were both globally important and personally compelling. They delved deeply into the issues and embraced the opportunity \u2014 and responsibility \u2014 to open others\u2019 eyes to critical human rights issues and principles, and to tap into young people\u2019s motivation to bring about positive changes.<\/p>\n

For Nasralla, the experience of exchanging stories with global peers \u2014 both during a live event on Zoom with 80 participants from multiple countries, as well as through writing his own submission to the Global Nomads online story library \u2014 has been a tremendous opportunity to learn and grow.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was isolated and lonely\u2026 [The program taught me] to make new connections with other people\u2026 to respect others\u2019 opinions even if I do not agree\u2026 to talk freely, to be confident and tie in my strengths, and to think out of the box,\u201d Nasralla explains.<\/p>\n

The goal for all Global Nomads Student to World participants is for them to be inspired to take action towards a more just, equitable and sustainable future. Nasralla\u2019s individual action plan illustrates his newfound ambitions through the following goals: \u201cRead more about human rights and the people who have advocated for them in the past; Use the power of social media to advocate for human rights; Increase my knowledge about other countries\u2019 laws and what they suffer there.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
