I don\u2019t remember the exact moment I began to see it, but at some point, I started to notice a craving for work, or creation, or craft, handwork, whatever you want to call it, in the world, and I haven&#8217;t been able to unsee it since. I think it\u2019s representative of more than just the desire to create, though, perhaps a capacity that\u2019s deeply human, and just not taught to flourish within societal norms today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think my peers in the Youth Section are asking for something similar to the world around us. We\u2019re asking people to come back into contact with those human gifts, to give attention to the community and nourishment that grows alongside them. We, as a Youth Section, are trying to hopefully create the environment that allows people to do just that. I don\u2019t think there\u2019s anyone more qualified to lead that charge than the young people of today, and I feel ever so grateful to be able to be a part of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>More <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/nayouthsection.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">North American Youth Section<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Image <\/strong>Lucy Nordin.
