International Year of Youth...That's YOU!
"Youth should be given a chance to take an active part in the decision-making of local, national and global levels."
United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.
Today marks the beginning of a year long focus on YOU. How cool is that? The Year will coincide with the 25th anniversary of the first International Youth Year in 1985 on the theme Participation, Development and Peace.
The theme is Dialogue and Mutual Understanding to generate much needed attention for youth participation and youth development at local, national and global levels.
The Year provides an important opportunity to increase commitment to youth, promote youth participation and enhance inter-cultural dialogue and understanding among youth. What does this mean to you? As a young person, this is the year for your voice to be heard, what would you like to say today?
