| | | | | |  The Transcendental Tent in the Woods by Leah Sellers
"What statement are you making by living in that Tent in the Woods?" my relatives ask incredulously. It's a good question. A reasonable question. It is my Act of Civil and Ethical Disobedience. | | | |  Educate Men First by Abdulhadi Hairan
In a man-dominant society like Afghanistan and Pakistan, there is a need to educate male population to clear way for female education. | | | |  Energy in the Space Age by Christopher Wilkinson

During the first two days I was held in a Prison building that is condemned by the European Council because it does not fulfil all the human rights requirements. It was during the wintertime. I was cold and shivering under the blanket. | | | |  The challenge by Thanos Kalamidas
At this very moment more than forty million people all around the world have become refugees escaping from their homes, which is why we need days such as World Refugee Day. | | | |  Our Global Societies' Philosopher's Stone by Leah Sellers
