क्या भविष्य बच्चों के लिए तैयार है? | सफ़िया अलकाली अजिकोलो | TEDxMaiduguri

बाल अधिकार कार्यकर्ता सफ़िया अलकाली अजिकोलो पूछती हैं कि क्या भविष्य को इस तरह बनाया जा रहा है कि वह बच्चों के लिए तैयार हो। नाइजीरia के बोर्नो राज्य में अपने बचपन के अनुभव के आधार पर वे कहती हैं कि समाज को केवल बच्चों को भविष्य के लिए तैयार नहीं करना चाहिए, बल्कि भविष्य को भी बच्चों के लिए तैयार करना चाहिए। वार्ता में जिज्ञासा जगाने वाली शिक्षण पद्धतियों, सुरक्षित सीखने के माहौल, मार्गदर्शन और अगली पीढ़ी को केंद्र में रखने वाली नीतियों पर बात की गई है। यह एक स्वतंत्र रूप से आयोजित TEDx कार्यक्रम में दी गई थी।

Safiya Alkali challenges the conventional thinking around preparing children for the future, drawing on her experiences and the realities of growing up in Borno State, Nigeria. She argues that while we constantly speak about preparing children for tomorrow, we rarely question whether we are building a future that is ready for them. From reimagining teaching methods that inspire curiosity and creativity to creating safe learning environments, strengthening mentorship, and shaping policies that place the next generation at their centre, Safiya makes the case for a fundamental shift in how society invests in children. She questions the familiar notion that children are simply the leaders of tomorrow, arguing that their future is already being shaped by the decisions we make today. Her message is simple but powerful: Rather than focusing solely on preparing children for the future, we must also take responsibility for preparing the future for them.
