From Clicks to Progress: Youth Digital Pathways for Sustainable Development

Written by: Israel Enyigwe, Nigeria.




As an advocate for sustainable development, I have learnt that even the smallest online actions can impact greatly on the society, creating significant change. My journey in this light began with a simple click - liking an article about climate change on social media. But soon, I realized that like -clicks alone weren't enough. Even sharing these articles was not enough. I needed to take tangible digital actions that would contribute to meaningful progress.

I started by educating myself through online courses and webinars on sustainable development. I started with visiting the United Nations and Google sites to know extensively about the Sustainable Development Goals. I then joined online communities and forums on LinkedIn and Discord, engaging in discussions and collaborating with like-minded individuals. Together, we brainstormed innovative solutions to real-world problems.

One digital action I take is creating and sharing informative content. I write blog posts, and endorse articles highlighting sustainable practices and their impact. I also participate in online campaigns and signing appeals that align with my values.

Young people like me can use digital technology to contribute to development. The possibilities are endless! We can develop and share digital tools, such as apps or games, that promote sustainable behaviors. We can use our online platforms for knowledge sharing and collaboration: utilize social media to raise awareness and mobilize support for social and environmental causes. Thought online activism, we can advocate for policy changes across leadership in favour of the masses.

Through these digital pathways,  young people, like myself, can drive progress toward sustainable development. We can bridge geographical gaps, amplify marginalized voices, and foster global cooperation. Rather than igniting wars and provoking unrests, our clicks can actually become a collective force for good.

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL YOUTH DAY.

DEAD THOUGHTS

Thinking patterns our ambition in alignment to our imagination. When we think, much of what is in our minds finds bearing to become manifest by our hands. For many, thinking is the way forward. For others, thinking never did them much good, cos often times, they get lucky acting irrationally.  Thoughts are life's way of seeking our permission and cooperation to making realities and possibilities. Nothing becomes in life, until someone thinks. Nothing happens in life, until someone fields their thought. When our minds get notions, ideas or inspirations, it is either between or after thoughts. Thinking opens our minds to receive possibilities. IsraelEgwe's school of thought thinks " every thought is a possibility, if factored in their right times ." What this means is, any thing at all that crosses your mind or you imagine, are all a possibility.  Their possibility is only spread across different times that allows for their manifestations. For instance, I ma
