The History Of International Youth Day
Because the youth are really our future, it is only apt that you have your own day that the world celebrates! International Youth Day was first endorsed in 1999 at the United Nations General Assembly as a way to raise awareness about the situation of the youth worldwide and to encourage governments to develop activities that enhance their situation. Last year’s focus was on creating safe spaces for youth. This year, the theme is “Transforming Education”, and we couldn’t be more proud of being part of this clarion call to invest in our youth.
