马拉拉在联合国青年大会上的演讲稿:呼吁全球注重教育公平

马拉拉在联合国青年大会上的演讲稿:呼吁全球注重教育公平

马拉拉在联合国青年大会上的演讲稿:呼吁全球注重教育公平:大家好!我很开心来到这里,有机会向大家分享我的故事和我的想法。

我的名字叫做马拉拉,是一名来自巴基斯坦的年轻女孩。

我热爱学习和知识,但是因为我对教育的渴望,我曾经遭到了恐怖组织塔利班的枪击。

但是这并没有让我放弃,反而让我更加坚定了我对教育公平理念的信念。

我相信教育是一种赋权的工具,能够改变贫穷和战争带来的不公。

在我看来,教育公平并不仅仅是指所有人有机会接受教育,更重要的是要保证教育资源的平等分配。

但是事实上,全球范围内的教育公平问题依然突出。

据统计,全球有2.6亿儿童没有上学,其中绝大多数是贫困地区的儿童。

而在那些有教育机会的地方,教育资源的优质分配问题也深受关注。

在我看来,提升教育公平的关键在于政府的投入和教育体制的改革。

政府应该将教育作为优先发展事业,并且增加投资以确保教育资源的平等分配。

而教育体制则需要更加注重学生的个性化需求,让他们有更多的自由选择和知识的获取。

同时,我们也需要在社会层面上加强对教育的重视和宣传,将教育观念深入人心,从而提高全国人民的受教育率和素质。

在提升教育公平的道路上,我相信青年人的力量是不可小觑的。

年轻人是新时代的主力军,他们敏锐的洞察力和创新能力能够在教育改革方面予以相当大的推动力。

世界各地的优秀青年人应该发挥自身作为社会领导者的优势,在政府机构和非政府组织中积极进取,为推进教育公平事业而努力奋斗。

我希望借此机会呼吁大家加强对教育公平的关注,关注贫穷地区儿童的教育机会和全球教育资源的公平分配问题。

每个人都应该有机会接受教育,因为教育是创造一个更加美好和平的未来的基础。

作为一名年轻女孩,我愿意为此长期奋斗和努力,在未来的日子里,让我们一起努力,共同为教育公平事业贡献自己的力量。

谢谢大家!。

联合国英语演讲稿

联合国英语演讲稿篇一:马云XX联合国创变者致辞英文演讲稿Thank you very much! I am so humbled and honored to be here tonight. I never thought that I would have a chance in my life to be in the United Nations.I learned my English by myself when I was 12 years old, for whatever reasons, I don't know. I just felt in love with this language. Every morning from 5 oclock I rode a bicyclefor 40 minutes, to the Hangzhou hotel looking for foreign tourists to teach me English.I showed them around the city, they taught me English.Since then, I began to have a habit. You should use your own brain to think about it, just one more minutes. When everything about it is yes, wait one minute. When everybody says no, wait for one minute. Think about it carefully. Cause if you look at the world from a different way, you may do it in a different way.And tonight, Im so honored to be inspired by all the Game Changer partners. By listening to their stories, I know there are so many things I should do,I can do better.There are so many things. And I think that here today I not represent of myself, but represent all the small guys, all the small business that Ive been working with.1995 when I left my University, I told my president of university that Im going to be anentrepreneur, do the internet. He said: “What is Internet” I said: “I don't know.” And he listened to me for two hours, and said: “Jack, I know you want to do something, I don't know what you do. But 10 years later, if you want to be back, please go back. I say: “Ok, ten years later, I will do that.” I know as a teacher as I said, teachers always believe the future, you believe that knowledge can change people's lives, you believe and you hope that your students are better than you are. Students are the best products. Today, I am not a teacher, but I got "CEO" in the "chief education officer”of my school. I know that my colleagues don't like me because I talk a lot. But I say, I do the talk, you do the work.When I started my business, its so difficult tobe a small business owner in the China. It took me 5 months to borrow $500, but I still failed. No chance, and I don't have any idea to run a business. And when I go to register a company, called the Internet, the registered officetold me, no, theres no such a word Internet in the dictionary. How can can you register the “Internet”You have to register another name. So he advised me to use “Computer consulting firm”. But I had no idea about what is computer. So my first company was Hangzhou Hope Computer Consulting Firm. It was tough without knowing anything about technology, without knowing anything about the computer.In the past fifteen years, I called myself a blind man riding on the back of a blind tiger, but those experts riding on the horses all failed, we survived. Because we worried the future, we believed the future, we changed ourselves, we never complained about others. And we believe one thing, I told the team in my apartment, we have to prove ourselves, because if we can be successful, 80% of the young people can be successful. We dont have a rich father, we have a powerful uncle,we did not get one dollar from the government, we did not get one dollar from the bank, we started from zero. So we have to work hard. Its not to prove ourselves, but prove our generation, prove the internet power. So this is what I want to share with young people.And the other thing I believe is small is beautiful. If nobody helps the small guys, we can use the Internet to help the small guys. Multi-National Companies was taken good care of by the Wall Street; only small businesses had nobody to help them. If we create value for them, then we will succeed. Our philosophy is that if you can help others successful, you will be successful. Im a person who believe the future, believe young people, believe innovation.And today I want to say one thing as the General Secretary said, the world is full of problems. Today, the world is full of complaints. I complained when I was 20 years old. There are Microsoft, IBM, CISCO, they are all big companies. We are helpless because they are too big. We complained. But now I never complain, I say I am a big guy too.I want to tell young people, where most peoplecomplain, where the opportunity is. Some people complain, and some people start to change themselves, changing others. Where the opportunities are is where the complains are. Where the trouble, where the opportunities.I always believe it, and this is how we go through.The last but very important, Im going to give you a t-shirt. Another T-shirt, right This is a special t-shirt of Alibaba IPO. Its all made by small guys. And this is a small guy. And small is beautiful, small is powerful. But in this T-shirt, very few people know that we have a secret codeof Alibaba's success. Just like the open sesame, theres a secret for Alibaba. The secret code for everybody is "Keep your Dream Alive”. Because it might come true someday. This is what the secret code is. Thank you very much.篇二:12岁女孩在联合国大会英文演讲稿12岁女孩在联合国大会英文演讲稿12岁的铃木瑟玟(Severn Suzuki)在1992年里约世界高峰会上,对全世界环境部长发出警语,她的演说简单扼要却直指人心,要求「大人们」对于环保要说到做到,否则就是对下一代的不负责任。

铃木瑟玟(Severn Suzuki)联合国演讲

一个12岁女孩在联合国的演讲让世界沉默了五分钟铃木瑟玟(Severn Suzuki)Hello, I’m Severn Suzuki speaking for E.C.O. - The Environmental Children's organization. We are a group of twelve and thirteen-year-olds from Canada trying to make a difference: Vanessa Suttie, Morgan Geisler, Michelle Quigg and me. We raised all the money ourselves to come six thousand miles to tell you adults you must change your ways.Coming here today, I have no hidden agenda. I am fighting for my future. Losing my future is not like losing an election or a few points on the stock market. I am here to speak for all generations to come. I am here to speak on behalf of the starving children around the world whose cries go unheard. I am here to speak for the countless animals dying across this planet because they have nowhere left to go. We cannot afford to be not heard. I am afraid to go out in the sun now because of the holes in the ozone. I am afraid to breathe the air because I don't know what chemicals are in it. I used to go fishing in Vancouver with my dad until just a few years ago we found the fish full of cancers. And now we hear about animals and plants going extinct every day - vanishing forever. In my life, I have dreamt of seeing the great herds of wild animals, jungles and rainforests full of birds and butterflies, but now I wonder if they will even exist for my children to see.Did you have to worry about these little things when you were my age? All this is happening before our eyes and yet we act as if we have all the time we want and all the solutions. I'm only a child and I don't have all the solutions, but I want you to realize, neither do you! You don't know how to fix the holes in our ozone layer. You don't know how to bring salmon back up a dead stream. You don't know how to bring back an animal now extinct. And you can't bring back forests that once grew where there is now desert. If you don't know how to fix it, please stop breaking it! Here, you may be delegates of your governments, business people, organizers, reporters or politicians - but really you are mothers and fathers, brothers and sister, aunts and uncles - and all of you are somebody's child. I'm only a child yet I know we are all part of a family, five billion strong, in fact, 30 million species strong and we all share the same air, water and soil - borders and governments will never change that. I'm only a child yet I know we are all in this together and should act as one single world towards one single goal.In my anger, I am not blind, and in my fear, I am not afraid to tell the world how I feel. In my country, we make so much waste, we buy and throw away, buy and throw away, and yet northern countries will not share with the needy. Even when we have more than enough, we are afraid to lose some of our wealth, afraid to share. In Canada, we live the privileged life, with plenty of food, water and shelter - we have watches, bicycles, computers and television sets.Two days ago here in Brazil, we were shocked when we spent some time with some children living on the streets. And this is what one child told us: "I wish I was rich and if I were, I would give all the street children food, clothes, medicine, shelter and love and affection." If a child on the street who has nothing, is willing to share, why are we who have everything still so greedy?I can't stop thinking that these children are my age, that it makes a tremendous difference where you are born, that I could be one of those children living in the Favelas of Rio; I could be a child starving in Somalia; a victim of war in the Middle East or a beggar in India. I'm only a child yet I know if all the money spent on war was spent on ending poverty and finding environmental answers, what a wonderful place this earth would be! At school, even in kindergarten, you teach us to how behave in the world. You teach us: not to fight with others, to work things out, to respect others, to clean up our mess, not to hurt other creatures, to share - not be greedy. Then why do you go out and do the things you tell us not to do?Do not forget why you're attending these conferences, who you're doing this for - we are your own children. You are deciding what kind of world we will grow up in. Parents should be able to comfort their children by saying "everything’s going to be alright', "we're doing the best we can" and "it's not the end of the world". But I don't think you can say that to us anymore.Are we even on your list of priorities? My father always says "You are what you do, not what you say." Well, what you do makes me cry at night. You grown ups say you love us. I challenge you; please make your actions reflect your words. Thank you for listening.演讲者:瑟玟.铃木的简介Severn Cullis - Suzuki BRIEF BIOGRAPHYRaised in Vancouver and Toronto, Severn Cullis-Suzuki has been camping and hiking all her life. When she was 9 she started the Environmental Children's Organization (ECO), a small group of children committed to learning and teaching other kids about environmental issues. They were successful in many projects before 1992, when they raised enough money to go to the UN's Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro. Their aim was to reminding the decision-makers of who their actions or inactions would ultimately affect. The goal was reached when 12 year-old Severn closed a Plenary Session with a powerful speech that received a standing ovation. Since Rio, Severn has given many speeches to schools and corporations, conferences and international meetings worldwide. In 1993 she received UNEP's Global 500 Award in Beijing, China. An accomplished television host and presenter, Severn has appeared and participated in many programs in Canada, the U.S., and Britain. Most recently she was the host of Suzuki's Nature Quest, a children's television series currently airing around the world. She has written numerous articles on environmental issues for magazines and newspapers, and has also published a book with Doubleday called Tell the World. From 1997 to 2001 Severn served as a Commissioner for the UN's Earth Charter, a document that strives to serve as a code of ethics for human conduct towards our resources, our planet, and each other. She is also an active participant in the preparations for the Johannesburg World Summit to be held in 2002, the ten year anniversary of Rio '92. Severn has worked closely with native peoples of British Columbia and the Amazon towards protecting forests threatened by unsustainable logging. She has been honored by three aboriginal nations in B.C: she was adopted into the Haida Nation, and the Heiltsuk Nation, and has a name from the Nuchalnulth people. Sev's love of the outdoors feeds her passion to speak about the future of our environment. Last summer, she and five girlfriends celebrated the millennium by cycling across Canada in a campaign for clean air called "Power shift 2000." This summer she worked for two months at the remote Pinkeiti Research Station in the Xingu valley of the Brazilian Amazon, furthering her academic pursuits in biology. Severn is currently a senior at Yale University in New Haven, CT, studying Ecology and Evolutionary Biology.背景和翻译一个12岁女孩在联合国的演讲让世界沉默了五分钟铃木瑟玟(Severn Suzuki)是1992年里约世界高峰会上,对全世界环境部长发出警语的12岁女孩,她的演说简单扼要却直指人心,要求「大人们」对于环保要说到做到,否则就是对下一代的不负责任。

12岁女孩在联合国环境与发展大会震撼世界的演讲环境问题是全球都在关注的议题。

1992年,第一届联合国环境与发展大会(又称地球首脑会议)在巴西里约热内卢举行。

在会上,一位12岁的加拿大女孩瑟玟‧卡莉丝‧铃木发表了一篇仅有6分钟的演说,简单扼要却直指人心,要求“大人们”对于环保要说到做到,否则就是对下一代的不负责任。

为了参与“地球环境高峰会”,她自己存下旅费,凭借在NGO摊位上的强力呼吁,终于争取到机会,在高峰会上以“儿童代表”的身份发表演讲。

她的演讲让许多人大受感动,并在全球广为流传,甚至被称作“里约的传奇演讲”。

以下是她的演讲全文:Hello, I'm Severn Suzuki speaking for E.C.O.——The Environmental Children's Organisation.

11岁孩子联合国发言稿

11岁孩子联合国发言稿

11岁孩子联合国发言稿尊敬的各位领导、来宾和各位朋友们:大家好!我很荣幸站在联合国这个重要的舞台上,向大家发表我的演讲。

我虽然只是一个11岁的孩子,但我相信我的声音也会被倾听和重视。

首先,我要谈谈关于教育的问题。

教育对于每一个孩子的成长和未来都是至关重要的。

然而,在世界上还有很多孩子不能接受良好的教育,这是一件令人痛心的事情。

在一些贫困地区,孩子们因为没有足够的学校或教育资源而不能上学。

我呼吁各个国家和组织都加大对教育的投入,确保每一个孩子都能够享受到公平和高质量的教育。

其次,我想谈谈环境保护的问题。

我们都知道,地球是我们共同的家园,我们要保护它。

然而,由于过度开发和环境污染,我们的地球正处于危险之中。

气候变化导致各种自然灾害的增加,动植物物种正在消失,海洋污染严重。

我们不能袖手旁观,我们每一个人都应该采取行动保护我们的地球。

我希望各国能够加强环境保护的法律法规,并且大力推动可持续发展的理念,让我们的地球变得更加美好。

此外,我还要呼吁世界各国关注儿童权益的问题。

儿童是国家的未来,我们应该努力保护每一个孩子的权益。

在一些地方,儿童面临着贫困、歧视、暴力等问题,这是对他们权益的侵犯。

我们不能容忍这种情况的存在,我们要创造一个安全、健康和快乐的环境,让每一个孩子都能够幸福成长。

最后,我要表达对和平的渴望。

战争和冲突给无辜的人们带来痛苦和苦难。

只有和平才能让人们生活得更好。

我希望世界各国能够加强合作,通过对话和谈判解决冲突,为世界带来长久的和平。

谢谢大家的聆听!让我们每一个人都为实现这些目标而努力奋斗!让我们共同创造一个更美好的世界!谢谢。

12岁姑娘的联合国演讲(1992)(全文5篇)第一篇:12岁姑娘的联合国演讲(1992)Hello, I'm Severn Suzuki speaking for E.C.O.but really you are mothers and fathers, brothers and sister, aunts and unclesnot be greedy。

在学校,甚至在幼稚园,你们大人教我们如何处世,你们告诉我们不要打架,要尊重对方。

找出答案,解决矛盾。

去分享,而不是贪婪。

Then why do you go out and do the things you tell us not to do?你们大人为什么去做与你们教导孩子相反的事情呢?Do not forget why you're attending these conferences, who you're doing this for--we are your own children.You are deciding what kind of world we will grow up in.Parents should be able to comfort their children by saying “everyting's going to be alright” , “we're doing the best we can” and “it's not the end of the world”。

不要忘记你们为何而来到这里开会,你们为谁做事情?我们是你们的下一代,你们正在决定我们将要在一个什么样的环境中成长,父母需要能够宽慰孩子们,告诉他们“一切都没问题,那不是世界末日,我们正在尽其所能的改变”。

But I don't think you can say that to us anymore.Are we even on your list of priorities? My father always says “You are what you do, not what you say.”但我不能再相信这样的话了,孩子们还是你们的优选名单吗?我爸爸总是说:“听其言,观其行,是认识一个人最好的方法”。

马拉拉在联合国青年大会的精彩演讲(中英版)三篇

马拉拉在联合国青年大会的精彩演讲(中英版)三篇马拉拉在联合国青年大会的精彩演讲(一)尊敬的联合国秘书长、各位尊敬的嘉宾、亲爱的青年朋友们:大家好!我很荣幸能够站在这里,与各位一起分享我的思考和观点。

我代表全球所有勇敢的女孩和年轻人,向各位发出一声呐喊,呼吁我们共同努力,为全球的教育问题找到解决方案。

教育是改变世界的关键。

它不仅仅是传授知识,更是唤醒个体潜能的工具。

然而,在今天的世界上,还有许多孩子无法享受到基本的教育权益。

他们生活在贫困、战争和灾难的阴影下,无法获得平等的学习机会。

因此,我们需要行动起来,为这些孩子争取他们应有的权利。

我们应该追求的是质量教育,而不仅仅是教育的数量。

质量教育意味着给予每个孩子最好的教育资源,培养他们的思维能力和创造力。

我们需要培养学生的批判性思维和解决问题的能力,以应对未来的挑战。

同时,我们也需要关注性别平等的问题。

尽管在许多地区,女性和男性都有平等接受教育的权利,但实际上,女性在教育中面临着许多障碍。

我们需要打破这些障碍,让女孩能够自由地学习和追求梦想。

我们应该鼓励女孩参与科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)领域的学习,让她们展现自己的才华和潜力。

此外,教育也是培养全球公民的重要途径。

我们应该培养学生的全球意识和社会责任感,让他们了解全球问题并为之做出积极的贡献。

我们需要建立更多的国际交流项目,促进不同国家和文化之间的相互理解和尊重。

最后,我想呼吁全球各界共同努力,为教育问题寻找解决方案。

政府、学校、非政府组织和企业等各个方面都应该发挥作用,投入更多的资源和精力来改善教育条件。

我们需要建立公平的教育体系,让每个孩子都有机会接受教育,实现自己的梦想。

让我们携起手来,共同努力,为全球的教育问题找到解决方案。

让我们为每个孩子的未来而奋斗!谢谢大家!马拉拉在联合国青年大会的精彩演讲(二)Ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests, dear young friends,It is an honor to stand here today and share my thoughts and perspectives with all of you. On behalf of brave girls and young people around the world, I call upon all of us to come together and find solutions to the global education crisis.Education is the key to changing the world. It is not just about imparting knowledge, but also about unleashing the potential of individuals. However, in today’s world, there are still many children who do not have access to basic education. They live inthe shadows of poverty, war, and disaster, unable to enjoy equal learning opportunities. Therefore, we need to take action and fight for their rights.What we should pursue is quality education, not just education in quantity. Quality education means giving every child the best educational resources to cultivate their thinking skills and creativity. We need to foster critical thinking and problem-solving abilities in students to prepare them for future challenges.At the same time, we must address the issue of gender equality. While in many regions, both girls and boys have equal rights to education, in reality, girls face many barriers in accessing education. We need to break down these barriers and allow girls to learn freely and pursue their dreams. We should encourage girls to participate in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields, allowing them to showcase their talents and potential.Furthermore, education is also an important avenue for cultivating global citizens. We should instill global awareness and a sense of social responsibility in students, enabling them to understand global issues and make positive contributions. We need to establish more international exchange programs to promote mutual understanding and respect among different countries and cultures.Finally, I would like to call upon all sectors of society to work together and find solutions to the education crisis. Governments, schools, non-governmental organizations, and businesses should all play a role and invest more resources and efforts to improve educational conditions. We need to establish a fair education system that provides every child with the opportunity to receive an education and fulfill their dreams.Let us join hands and work together to find solutions to the global education crisis. Let us strive for the future of every child!Thank you all!马拉拉在联合国青年大会的精彩演讲(三)尊敬的联合国秘书长、各位尊敬的嘉宾、亲爱的青年朋友们:大家好!我很荣幸能够站在这里,与各位一起分享我的思考和观点。

一个十三岁女孩在联合国大会上震撼世界的演讲第一篇:一个十三岁女孩在联合国大会上震撼世界的演讲一个十三岁女孩在联合国大会上震撼世界的演讲:珊文·古立斯.铃木(Severn Cullis-Suzuki)的父亲是世界知名的加拿大遗传学家与环保人士戴维·铃木博士(Dr.David Suzuki),热心致力于环保工作并且成效卓著,曾荣获「全球优秀领导奖」。

珊文·古立斯.铃木是世界上最杰出的青年环保斗士之一,从年少时起,她就藉由发表演讲、主持电视节目与写作,以倡导环保,并力促大众建立价值观、所作所为都要想到未来,以及负起个人应尽的责任。

1992年当珊文·铃木12岁时,她自己筹钱到巴西的里约热内卢,在联合国的地球峰会上,她做了5分钟的发言。

一开始大家觉得这只是漫长会议中的一个有趣的插曲而已,随着她大声说出每一句话,会场开始变得安静。

坐在听众席上的各国领导和科学家们,有的表情尴尬,有的似乎被什么击中,有的开始擦眼泪,还有许多人低下了头,好像不知道该怎么和这个小孩对视。

下面是她当年发言稿的中文对照本:英文:“Hello, I am Severn Suzuki speaking for E.C.O-the Environmental Children‟s Organization.We are a group of 12 and 13 year-olds trying to make a difference, Vanessa Suttie, Morgan Geisler, Michelle Quigg and me.We‟ve raised all the money to come here ourselves, to come 5,000 miles to tell you adults you must change your ing up here today, I have no hidden agenda.I am fighting for my future.Losing my future is not like losing an election, or a few points on the stock market.”“I am her e to speak for all generations to come.I am here to speak on behalf of the starving children around the world whose cries go unheard.I am here to speak for the countless animals dying across this planet, because they have nowhere left to go.I am afraid to go out in the sun now, because of the holes in ourozone.I am afraid to breathe the air, because I don‟t know what chemicals are in it.I used to go fishing in Vancouver, my home, with my Dad until, just a few years ago, we found a fish full of cancers.And now we hear of animals and plants going extinct every day, vanishing forever.In my life, I have dreamt of seeing the great herds of wild animals, jungles and rainforests full of birds and butterflies, but now I wonder if they will even exist for my childre n to see.”“Did you have to worry of these things when you were my age?

12岁女孩在联合国峰会英语演讲稿:呼吁保护女性权益

12岁女孩在联合国峰会英语演讲稿:呼吁保护女性权益

12岁女孩在联合国峰会英语演讲稿:呼吁保护女性权益Dear all,Today, I stand before you as a 12-year-old girl who has a dream, a dream to see a world where every girl and woman is free from violence, discrimination, and oppression. I am here to talk about the issue of protecting the rights of women and girls, an issue that is close to my heart and affectsmillions of lives around the world.As we speak, girls and women are being denied their basic human rights, such as the right to education, health care, freedom of expression, and equal opportunities. They areoften subjected to violence, sexual exploitation, and other forms of abuse, which can destroy their lives and their futures.This is not right. It is not fair that women and girls are treated as second-class citizens, that they are not given the same opportunities as men and boys, and that they are often subjected to violence and discrimination. This needs to change, and it needs to change now.So, what can we do to protect the rights of women and girls? There are several things we can do:First, we need to raise awareness about women's andgirls' rights. Many people are not aware of the extent of violence and discrimination that women and girls face on a daily basis. By spreading the word and educating others, we can help to change this.Second, we need to create safe spaces for women and girls. Too many women and girls are vulnerable to violence and abuse, with nowhere to turn for help. We need to provide safe spaces where they can seek refuge, get counseling, and receive medical care.Third, we must hold perpetrators of violence against women and girls accountable for their actions. Too often, perpetrators of violence go unpunished, which sends a message that violence against women is acceptable. We need to hold them accountable for their crimes and show them that their actions will not be tolerated.Fourth, we need to invest in women and girls. Education, health care, and economic opportunities are essential toempower women and help them achieve their full potential. By providing resources for these opportunities, we can help women and girls become equal partners in society.Finally, we need to change our attitudes towards women and girls. We need to reject harmful gender stereotypes that hold women back and perpetuate violence against them. We need to embrace a culture of respect and equality, where every individual is valued and treated with dignity.I believe that we can make a difference in the lives of women and girls. By working together, we can build a world where they are free to live, learn, and thrive. Let us all take action to protect their rights, because when we do, we create a better world for all of us.Thank you.。

联合国青年大会:马拉拉的演讲稿点燃未来希望之火

联合国青年大会:马拉拉的演讲稿点燃未来希望之火

联合国青年大会:马拉拉的演讲稿点燃未来希望之火。

马拉拉,这个名字在全球范围内变得越来越有名,因为她被授予了诺贝尔和平奖。

她是不折不扣的一名战士,她在她13岁的时候就开始为女性和教育权益发声,和塔利班斗争。

在2012年10月9日,她在卡利姆村上学的路上被塔利班枪击,被送到贝克勒勒医院救治,一度命悬一线。

在康复期间,她在全球发表了多篇演讲,呼吁世界对教育的支持和保护儿童的权利。

2013年,马拉拉在联合国的青年大会上发表了她著名的演讲。

在演讲中,她集中阐述了全球需要公平教育,而不是仅仅只是被教育的人。

她说:“让我们摆脱被教育的这个标签,我们需要成为一个有关教育的运动,不论我们年纪大小、性别、国籍、人种,都应该获得平等的机会来受教育。

”马拉拉这句话发出了强烈的呼声,她承认每个人都应该有公平的机会,不应受到外部因素影响。

马拉拉还强调,整个世界的教育体系需要发生变革,需要让教育真正覆盖所有的领域,从而创造更多更好的机会和经验。

当然,她也很熟悉教育不只是一个人的事情,而是整个世界的事情。

“不光是我们这些年轻人需要教育,同时对于政治家和各国政府来讲,教育也是一个伟大的挑战。

”这也是她对现状的一种评述,强调了在国家层面要加强教育的问题。

马拉拉的演讲对于现在的年轻人来说意义重大,她的言辞不仅让人们感到振奋,更让人们明白了教育的真正重要性。

毫无问,她是这个世界上的一名奇才,因为她诚挚而感人的演讲,点燃了很多志愿者的激情和热情,使他开始去实现他们自己的梦想和目标。

她所讲的故事,将永远鼓舞和激励着每一个奋斗者。

马拉拉的演讲激励了无数人去关注和改变,她强调了世界上需要充满热情和信念的年轻人。

在那场演讲之后,青年们接触到了更多的资源和机会,这也是马拉拉演讲的关键。

她强调了每个人都应该努力争取,去尝试实现自己的梦想,去改变这个世界的方向。

她给我们提供了一个无价的机会,让我们不再害怕去探索,不再害怕去冒险。

正如马拉拉所说的那样,我们都需要成为教育的战士和鼓吹者。

11岁孩子联合国发言稿

11岁孩子联合国发言稿

11岁孩子联合国发言稿尊敬的各位领导和代表们,大家好!我是来自中国的11岁小朋友,非常荣幸能在联合国这个重要的场合发表我的观点。

作为未来的一代,我深感责任重大,希望通过我的发言能够呼吁大家共同关注和解决我们面临的一些重要问题。

首先,我想谈谈关于教育的问题。

在很多国家,包括中国在内,仍有许多儿童因为贫困、战争、灾难等原因无法接受良好的教育。

教育是每个孩子应有的权利,也是改变未来命运的重要途径。

我希望各国政府能够投入更多资金,改善教育资源不足的问题,让每个孩子都能够接受优质的教育。

其次,我想谈谈关于环境保护的问题。

随着工业化和城市化的快速发展,地球上的环境也面临着严重的污染和破坏。

气候变化、空气、水等环境问题已经严重影响到我们的生活和健康。

我希望各国政府能够加强环境保护和减排工作,采取更多的措施保护我们的地球家园。

再者,我想谈谈关于儿童权利的问题。

在一些贫困地区,儿童仍然面临贫困、歧视、暴力等问题。

这违反了《儿童权利公约》中规定的每个儿童都应享有的权利。

我希望各国政府能够加强儿童保护工作,保障每个儿童的生存、发展、保护和参与权利。

最后,我想呼吁各国政府和全球各界能够团结一心,共同合作,解决全球面临的各种问题。

在这个多变的时代,我们需要更多的合作和沟通,共同应对各种挑战。

只有团结一心,我们才能创造一个更加美好的世界。

总之,作为一个11岁的小朋友,我深切希望能够看到更多的积极变化。

我相信,只要我们共同努力,我们就能够创造出一个更加美好的未来。

谢谢大家!以上就是我的发言,希望大家能够给予关注和支持。

谢谢!。

中国小孩联合国发言稿

中国小孩联合国发言稿

中国小孩联合国发言稿尊敬的联合国代表、各位来宾,大家好!我是一名来自中国的小孩,今天我很荣幸能够站在这里,向大家发表我的观点和想法。

作为未来世界的一部分,我们小孩也应该有权利发言,表达我们对世界的期望和对未来的憧憬。

首先,我想谈一谈环境保护的问题。

作为地球的居民,我们每个人都应该为保护我们的地球尽一份力。

近年来,全球气候变化越发严峻,地球的生态系统受到了严重破坏,许多动植物濒临灭绝,大自然资源日益匮乏。

这给我们人类社会带来了极大的危害,我们必须采取行动来保护地球,让我们的后代也能够享受清新的空气和美丽的自然风景。

其次,我想谈一谈教育的问题。

教育是我们成长的翅膀,是我们走向未来的基石。

然而,在许多贫困地区和农村地区,孩子们因为家庭贫困和交通不便等原因无法接受良好的教育。

我希望各国政府能够加大对教育的投入,保障每个孩子都能够接受良好的教育。

同时,我们也应该倡导包容性教育,让残障儿童也有机会接受教育,让每个孩子都能够发挥自己的潜力,为社会做出贡献。

再者,我想谈一谈儿童权益的问题。

儿童是社会的未来,我们应该被尊重和保护。

然而,在许多地方,儿童的权益并没有得到充分的重视和保障。

我希望各国政府能够加强对儿童权益的保护,确保每个孩子都能够健康成长,享有教育和医疗等基本权益。

同时,我们也应该倡导尊重和包容,消除各种形式的歧视和暴力,让每个孩子都能够在一个和平、安全的环境中成长。

最后,我想呼吁全世界的孩子们一起行动起来,为实现可持续发展目标做出自己的贡献。

我们是地球的未来,我们应该为地球的未来承担责任。

无论是从小事做起,比如节约用水和节约用电,还是参与一些环保活动,我们都可以为地球的未来做出贡献。

让我们携起手来,共同为地球的未来努力。

在最后,我想引用一句话来结束我的发言:“世界是我们共同的家园,我们每个人都应该为它的美好贡献力量。

”让我们携起手来,共同为实现可持续发展目标而努力奋斗。

谢谢大家!。

12岁女孩在联合国大会让大家沉没的演讲稿

12岁女孩在联合国大会让大家沉没的演讲稿

12岁女孩在联合国大会让大家(dàjiā)沉没的演讲稿序:1992年当珊文·铃木(加拿大人)12岁时,她自己和其他(qítā)4个小女孩筹钱到巴西的里约热内卢还组成了“儿童环境(huánjìng)组织”,在联合国的地球峰会(fēnɡ huì)上,她做了6分钟的发言。

一开始大家觉得这只是漫长会议中的另一场发言而已,随着她大声说出的每一句话,会场开始变得非常安静。

坐在听众席上的高官、重要人物、各国领导、科学家们,有的表情尴尬,有的似乎被什么击中,有的开始擦眼泪。

还有更多的人,他们低下了头,好象(hǎo xiànɡ)不知道该怎么和这个小孩对视。

一年后,她在中国北京获得联合国环境规划署颁发的“全球五百精英荣誉奖”(Global 500 Roll of Honor Award)。

2002年她主持数个电视节目,其中包括在探索频道(Discovery Channel)播出的“铃木自然探索节目”(Suzuki’s Nature Quest)。

她和朋友于2002年在约翰内斯堡的联合国世界高峰会议上,发表“承担责任”(Recognition of Responsibility)的誓言,表达北美人民关怀环境的心声。

演讲稿原文:大家好!我是severn suzuki,我代表儿童环境(huánjìng)组织(E.C.O.;Environmental Children’s Organization)来此演讲(yǎnjiǎng)。

我们是一个由十几岁孩子组成的小群体,我们想改变些什么。

我们自己(zìjǐ)挣钱支持我们旅行5000英里来到这里,只为告诉你们成年人,你们必须改变你们的生活方式。

今天我来到这里,我背后没有任何经纪人,我们为我们的未来而战。

失去未来不像落选和股市浮动那么简单(jiǎndān),我来到这里是为了将来所有的世代而演讲。

尊敬的各位领导、各位老师、各位同学:
大家好!我是来自某某中学的学生小明,今天我很荣幸能站在这里,代表青少
年发表一下自己的观点。

我们都知道,青少年是国家的未来,我们的声音也应该被听到。

首先,我想谈谈青少年对于环境保护的重要性。

我们生活在一个美丽的地球上,但是随着工业化的加快和人类活动的不断扩张,地球的环境却面临着严重的破坏。

空气污染、水污染、土壤退化等问题日益严重,这些不仅影响着我们的生活质量,更影响着我们的健康和未来。

因此,青少年应该积极参与到环保行动中,从自身做起,减少浪费,节约资源,保护环境。

其次,我想谈谈青少年教育的重要性。

教育是青少年成长的基石,它不仅仅是
知识的传授,更是品德的培养。

在当今社会,青少年面临着各种各样的诱惑和挑战,良好的教育能够让我们树立正确的人生观和价值观,让我们远离犯罪和不良行为。

因此,我们希望各国能够加大对青少年教育的投入,提高教育质量,让每一个青少年都能够接受良好的教育。

最后,我想谈谈青少年的参与感和责任感。

青少年是国家的未来,我们应该为
国家和社会的发展贡献自己的力量。

我们应该积极参与到志愿者活动中,关心社会、关心他人,传递正能量。

同时,我们也应该树立责任感,做一个负责任的人,为自己的行为负责,为自己的未来负责。

总而言之,青少年是国家的未来,我们应该为自己的未来负起责任,积极参与
到社会发展中。

我们应该关注环境保护,关注教育问题,关注社会问题,让我们的声音被听到,让我们的力量得到发挥。

谢谢大家!。

9岁孩子联合国发言稿

9岁孩子联合国发言稿

9岁孩子联合国发言稿尊敬的联合国成员国代表、各位嘉宾、女士们、先生们:大家好!我是一名来自中国的9岁孩子,非常荣幸能够在这里站在联合国面前发表我对世界的思考和建议。

我相信,我们都希望生活在一个和平、稳定、公正、自由的世界。

可是,现在世界上还存在很多问题,比如贫困、战争、环境污染等。

作为孩子,尽管我们年纪还小,但我们也关心世界,我们有自己的观点和建议。

首先,我想说的是关于贫困问题。

全世界有很多人生活在贫困中,他们没有足够的食物、水源和教育机会。

我认为,为了解决贫困问题,我们需要联合国发起各国间的合作,共同制定减贫的目标和计划。

同时,我建议各国政府要加大对农村地区和贫困家庭的关注和支持,建设更多的学校和医疗设施,提供免费教育和医疗服务。

其次,我关注的问题是战争和冲突。

战争和冲突不仅带来破坏和伤害,还导致人们离散和无家可归。

作为儿童,我们想要的是和平,想要在安全和谐的环境里成长。

我希望联合国能够加大对和平冲突的调解和解决力度,促进各国之间的对话与合作,推动各方通过谈判和对话解决问题,而不是用战争的方式。

此外,我呼吁各国政府加强对教育的投资,提供更多的教育机会,通过教育来帮助儿童和青少年认识到和平的重要性,并为他们提供更多的机会来发展自己,为社会做出贡献。

第三个问题是环境污染。

我们知道,环境污染对我们的健康和生活质量造成了很大的威胁。

空气污染、水污染、土壤退化等问题愈演愈烈。

我希望联合国能够制定更加严格的环保法律和政策,鼓励各国采取更多的措施来降低污染,保护环境。

同时,我呼吁各国政府在教育中加入环保的内容,让孩子们从小就树立保护环境的意识,养成良好的环保习惯。

此外,我还希望联合国能够关注儿童权益问题。

每个孩子都有权利接受教育、生活在健康和安全的环境中,不受歧视和虐待。

但现实情况是,还存在很多儿童被剥夺了这些权利。

我希望联合国能够通过立法和行动,保障儿童的权益,加大对虐待和失学儿童的保护力度,确保每个孩子都能够享受到应有的权利和福利。

联合国研讨会女生发言稿
尊敬的主持人、尊敬的各位嘉宾、亲爱的同学们:
大家好!我很荣幸能够站在这个国际舞台上,与各位一起分享关于女性权益的重要话题。

我想谈的是关于女性教育问题,并提出一些建议。

首先,女性教育是推动社会进步的关键之一。

事实上,孙中山先生曾经说过:“教育妇女,教育一国;解放妇女,解放一国。

”妇女教育不仅仅是赋予女性知识的工具,更是为了改变
她们在社会中的地位,实现平等和自主的渠道。

其次,我们需要面对的现实是,在许多地方,女性教育依然面临着巨大的挑战。

经济因素、社会偏见和文化束缚等问题每天都在阻碍着女性接受教育的机会。

据联合国教科文组织统计,全球约有130万个女孩不能上学。

这是一个不可接受的数字,我们必须采取行动。

那么,我们应该如何解决这一问题呢?首先,政府和国际组织需要采取措施来确保女性教育的优先性。

只有通过政策的制定和实施,我们才能够确保女孩们有机会上学。

其次,我们需要加强对社会和文化的教育,尤其是对妇女的平等和权益的宣传。

只有当我们改变大众观念时,女性才能真正得到平等对待。

最后,我们还需要提供更多的资源和机会,帮助那些缺乏经济条件的女性获得教育。

这可能包括提供奖学金、建立更多的学校和培训机构等。

总结起来,女性教育问题不仅仅是对于女性本身的重要,也是对整个社会和国家的发展具有重要意义的。

只有通过我们共同的努力,才能够实现性别平等和女性权益的真正解放。

谢谢大家!。

女生联合国研讨会发言稿

女生联合国研讨会发言稿

女生联合国研讨会发言稿尊敬的各位联合国代表、尊敬的各位女士们,我很荣幸能有机会在这个重要的场合,和各位一起讨论和探讨关于女性权益和性别平等的议题。

作为一名来自地球上的普通女性,我深知在当今世界,女性所面临的挑战和问题。

我也相信,只有通过女性的团结和积极的行动,我们才能够实现真正的平等和尊重。

因此,我想借此机会,向各位介绍一下我们所采取的措施,并希望能够得到大家的支持和帮助。

首先,我想谈谈有关公共卫生和妇女健康的议题。

在现代社会,虽然医疗技术和设施都在不断地提高和完善,但是仍然有很多妇女在孕期和分娩过程中面临着生命危险。

特别是在一些发展中国家,由于医疗条件的限制以及文化传统的影响,很多女性没有得到合适的医疗照顾和保护,造成了不必要的伤亡。

我们呼吁各国政府和国际组织共同努力,提高妇女的医疗保健水平,保障每一个妇女在孕期和分娩过程中的安全和健康。

其次,我想谈谈有关教育和就业的议题。

尽管近年来在全球范围内取得了一些积极的进展,但是女性在教育和就业领域依然面临着很多困难和不公平。

在一些地区,女孩子依然面临辍学和早婚的问题,而在一些职业领域,女性也很难得到应有的机会和待遇。

我们认为,教育和就业是每个人的基本权利,而不应该因为性别而受到任何形式的歧视。

因此,我们呼吁各国政府和国际组织加强对妇女的教育和职业培训,创建更多的平等机会,让每一个女性都能够实现自己的人生价值。

除此之外,我还想谈谈有关暴力和性侵的议题。

在当今世界,依然有很多女性在家庭和社会中面临暴力和性侵的威胁。

同时,也有很多受害者由于各种原因而无法得到及时的帮助和保护。

我们坚决反对一切形式的暴力和性侵行为,并呼吁各国政府和社会各界加强对受害者的救助和支持,同时加强对施暴者的惩治和教育,切实保护每一个妇女的人身安全。

最后,我想强调的是,性别平等和妇女权益的实现不仅仅是一个国家的责任,更是全人类共同的责任。

只有通过各国政府、国际组织、社会团体和个人的共同努力,我们才能够实现真正的平等和尊重。

Hello, I'm Severn Suzuki speaking for E.C.O. - The Environmental Children's Organisation.We are a group of twelve and thirteen-year-olds from Canada trying to make a difference:Vanessa Suttie, Morgan Geisler, Michelle Quigg and me. We raised all the mon ey ourselves to come six thousand miles to tell you adults you must change your ways. Coming here today, I have no hidden agenda. I am fighting for my future.Losing my future is not like losing an election or a few points on the stock market. I am here to speak for all generations to come.I am here to speak on behalf of the starving children around the world whose cries go unheard.I am here to speak for the countless animals dying across this planet because they have nowhere left to go. We cannot afford to be not heard.I am afraid to go out in the sun now because of the holes in the ozone. I am afraid to breathe the air because I don't know what chemicals are in it.I used to go fishing in Vancouver with my dad until just a few years ago we found th e fish full of cancers. And now we hear about animals and plants going exinct every day -- vanishing forever.In my life, I have dreamt of seeing the great herds of wild animals, jungles and rainforests full of birds and butterfilies, but now I wonder if they will even exist for my children to see.Did you have to worry about these little things when you were my age?All this is happening before our eyes and yet we act as if we have all the time we want and all the solutions. I'm only a child and I don't have all the solutions, but I want you to realise, neither do you!You don't know how to fix the holes in our ozone layer.You don't know how to bring salmon back up a dead stream.You don't know how to bring back an animal now extinct.And you can't bring back forests that once grew where there is now desert.If you don't know how to fix it, please stop breaking it!Here, you may be delegates of your governments, business people, organisers, reporters or poiticians - but really you are mothers and fathers, brothers and sister, aunts and uncles - and all of you are somebody's child.I'm only a child yet I know we are all part of a family, five billion strong, in fact, 30 million species strong and we all share the same air, water and soil -- borders and governments will never change that.I'm only a child yet I know we are all in this together and should act as one single world towards one single goal.In my anger, I am not blind, and in my fear, I am not afraid to tell the world how I feel.In my country, we make so much waste, we buy and throw away, buy and throw away, and yet northern countries will not share with the needy. Even when we have more than enough, we are afraid to lose some of our wealth, afraid to share.In Canada, we live the privileged life, with plenty of food, water and shelter -- we have watches, bicycles, computers and television sets.Two days ago here in Brazil, we were shocked when we spent some time with some children living on the streets. And this is what one child told us: "I wish I was rich and if I were, I would give all the street children food, clothes, medicine, shelter and love and affection."If a child on the street who has nothing, is willing to share, why are we who have everyting still so greedy?I can't stop thinking that these children are my age, that it makes a tremendous difference where you are born, that I could be one of those children living in the Favellas of Rio; I could be a child starving in Somalia; a victim of war in the Middle East or a beggar in India.I'm only a child yet I know if all the money spent on war was spent on ending poverty and finding environmental answers, what a wonderful place this earth would be!At school, even in kindergarten, you teach us to behave in the world. You tea ch us:not to fight with others,to work things out,to respect others,to clean up our mess,not to hurt other creaturesto share - not be greedy.Then why do you go out and do the things you tell us not to do?Do not forget why you're attending these conferences, who you're doing this for -- we are your own children. You are deciding what kind of world we will grow up in. Parents should be able to comfort their children by saying "everyting's going to be alright" , "we're doing the best we can" and "it's not the end of the world".But I don't think you can say that to us anymore. Are we even on your list of priorities? My father always says "You are what you do, not what you say."Well, what you do makes me cry at night. You grown ups say you love us. I challenge you, please make your actions reflect your words. Thank you for listening。
