- V. key finding 4 - Educational Opportunities & Hope for Future 1. The youth featured in this report have sought to overcome these obstacles in their quest for education, employment and other options unavailable in their homeland. Those who are able to achieve further education are empowered by their newfound knowledge and skills, which increase their capacity and motivation to work for their communities. 2. diversity of opinions, but they are connected in schools and online 3. tech is also connecting them to broader ideas around the world and support
- Part of team of 8 who did one-month research with 16 youth focused orgs - 9 of them are schools - 7 are CBOs offering youth-specific training program - In total, interviewed 90 youth - throughout this report we highlighted youth voices next we’ll present our findings
- These programs need support, however, and this report outlines further ways the international community can contribute. Looking ahead, displaced Burmese youth have sought to define their future goals for themselves in the movement towards democracy. Through the perspective of first and second day issues we examine the short and long-term goals of these activists, including their definitions of democracy, human rights and federalism. We also examine the ways they are working to achieve these goals, and their desire to build connections, both within the movement and with the outside world.
- E - Let's start with the Saffron Revolution. In Sept. 2007, (explanation of protests). Demands. They were the largest protests the nation had seen since 1988. 20 years ago, the military killed over 3,000 protesters. This time, the loss of life was much less because of cell phones, which played a role in both reporting and coordinating. M - Closed society. On the reporting side, monks carried camera phones and they and other citizen journalists sent mobile images, video and voice information to the outside world. E - Coordination also happened through mobiles, thanks to trusted networks between contacts inside and contact on border. example: joining protest 1km away and not knowing.
- M - From Saffron Revolution, we take both failures and successes. The success was that, despite 1% penetration, censorship of internet cafes and a blackout on all SMS, the whole world was watching and advocating for the opposition. E - failure -> The world's attention led the junta to make a move no other country has dared in the 21st century - a day after their crackdown began, they cut all internet and cell service inside, blacking out all channels of information. The fear is that they and other repressive regimes may learn that silencing cells and the internet are a necessary step in any crackdown on nonviolent protesters. There is no reason to think the Burmese junta would not employ these methods again, unless mobile penetration increases beyond these limits.
