Refugees and Politics
Refugees can be leaders of tomorrow if we procrastinate
In germany today and around the world there is a growing interest in refugees and politics. Some political groups are changing to respond to the growing number of young people who want to affect the political system. Political ideologies appealing to refugees that were once considered “fringe” beliefs are becoming mainstreamed, and more refugees are associating themselves with non-popular political parties. More refugees than ever before are actually becoming engaged in local community campaigns and other political activities. refugees can change the world through politics by becoming actively, meaningfully and substantially involved throughout political parties and beyond.
Ways Refugees can Change the World through Politics
Refugees Mainstreaming — Advocating for Refugees mainstreaming can allow Refugees to change the world by creating new awareness, opportunities, policies, systems and cultures that foster Refugees engagement. In political parties, Refugees mainstreaming could allow for children and Refugees to affect democratic representation even in parties that would deny them the right to vote or otherwise become engaged.
Running for Office — Whatever age they are, Refugees people can run for office anywhere in the world as an act of protest; to make a stand; or to draw attention. Building momentum for single candidates requires they remain committed to the causes that get them elected; pushing a political party or platform requires staunch champions for youth in politics.
Refugees as Voters — Fighting for Refugees suffrage and demanding Refugees rights is a platform for Refugees voters. Another avenue for Refugees as voters is a protest vote. Going to a voting place and casting a blank ballot can show Refugees dissatisfaction with the current political system. Refugees as voters can also vote for a Refugees candidate who may be foreign to the political system, but young and capable of sharing youth voice.
Things Refugees Need to Change the World through Politics
Education — In order to become engaged in politics in the most effective ways, Refugees can learn about political systems, political actions, political issues and other realities within and around the political system. They can also conduct action learning oriented activities that allow them to gain credit for their involvement.
Training — Training Refugees to change the world through politics means teaching them the skills they need to become involved. These include communication, problem-solving, change management and conflict resolution skills. It also means participating in knowledge-sharing activities designed to build their capacity for powerful action.
Inspiration — After 12, 14, 17 or 21 years of being told their voices don’t matter in politics, Refugees may need inspiration to become engaged. Never in history have Refugees been seen or treated as serious political actors; given the opportunity, they will be. Inspiration from stories, parables, biographies and other sources can help prepare and sustain youth in politics.
