People of
all ages can develop a feeling of belongingness through culture. Culture has
the capacity to strengthen the local communities and transform the entire
societies. It will play a crucial role in fostering long-term social and
economic development for the future generations and also serves as a medium for
youth development and civic engagement. Youth can foster harmony and
cross-cultural understanding by following cultural values.
Our
culture has direct impact on how we live, work, and play, as well as how we see
ourselves and others. It also has an impact on our moral values. As per
research, youth who actively embrace their ethnic and cultural identities have
higher levels of moral values and are also likely to succeed in the long run in
the areas of education, mental wellbeing, and interpersonal relationships.
Young
people, who make up a sizeable fraction of the population, are
disproportionately affected by development challenges at all levels. These
young people commonly experience high rates of unemployment, limited access to
professional training, intolerance and exclusion as major difficulties.
Investments in
traditional indigenous assets, such as tangible and intangible heritage,
traditional knowledge and skills, music, dance, theatre, and festivals, will
foster the growth of creative industries and provide opportunities to young
people for the sustainable growth.
Culture does not
develop over the course of one or two days; rather, it takes time to develop.
Only the young generation in our nation is capable to modify the culture that
we are adhering in order to meet the demands of the current day. All they
require is cultural awareness, support, engagement and also must be aware that
culture is very important for there development and must be preserved in a pure
and effective manner.
