As the Department of Basic Education, we would like to thank our partner, UNICEF for their contribution and support to the GEM/BEM programme. I want to take this opportunity and address my learners, who I love.  \nYou have taken the torch and ran clubs within your respective schools and communities. We are now providing you with the platform to document the activities, the challenges and success stories. We also want to use this platform to showcase to the South African  \ncommunity that we have vibrant young people who are aware of the global, local and community challenges.  \nGEM/BEM aims to empower you, the learner, with reliable information, guidance and platforms to discuss challenges around sexual harassment, HIV/AIDS,  \nteenage pregnancy, climate change and any other issues of concern to you. As the Department, we are saying that our learners must contribute towards solution to social problems related to human rights violations that are common among society today. We hope that this newsletter will continue to bring positivity, and that clubs will use it to communicate! We are keen to make GEM/BEM a  \nMs Gugu Ndebele  \nmovement of choice for young people in South Africa. We will strive to provide platforms for our youth to engage and contribute to society positively. Thank you.  \nUNICEF’s Corner  \nUNICEF is pleased to be part of this historic initiative, which aims to develop learners in South Africa. When we got involved after a request by the National Department of Basic Education to assist in developing best practice models in school communities, we wanted to make a difference. Among our initiatives is the introduction of Girls and Boys Education Movement clubs in schools. The Girls and Boys Education Movement is an element of the Child Friendly Schools programme. A good  \ndescription of a Child Friendly School has the following key elements: healthy and safe for, and protective of, children’s emotional, psychological, and physical well-being, proactively inclusive,  \nseeking out and enabling participation of all children.  \nThrough UNICEF’s strategic assistance, the Department of Basic Education plans to drastically change the realities of the social situation of chil","cbCaifmcnujc7H9P","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifmcnujc7H9P","pdf",3920202,"English","# Foreword by Ms Gugu Ndebele\n## UNICEF’s Corner\n# Ed’s Corner\n## Article and gallery highlights","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of GEM/BEM in the Movers Forum newsletter?\",\"answer\":\"GEM/BEM aims to empower learners with reliable information, guidance, and platforms to discuss concerns such as sexual harassment, HIV/AIDS, teenage pregnancy, and climate change.\"},{\"question\":\"How does UNICEF support GEM/BEM and school improvement?\",\"answer\":\"UNICEF supports the initiative by introducing GEM/BEM clubs and linking them to the Child Friendly Schools programme, emphasizing a healthy, safe, protective, and inclusive school environment.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the editor ask learners to contribute for future editions?\",\"answer\":\"The editor encourages learners to submit personal stories, pictures, and other forms of art, including how they started their clubs, the challenges faced, and how they have grown.\"}]","MOVER’S FORUM - Edition 1 - Welcome to GEM/BEM Clubs | PDF",1792378692]
