International Youth Day

International Youth Day is an annual United Nations observance celebrated on August 12th to recognize the importance of young people as agents of change and to promote their participation in decision-making processes that affect their lives.

The day provides an opportunity for young people to voice their concerns, opinions, and ideas on issues that affect them. It also aims to raise awareness about the challenges that young people face, including unemployment, education, poverty, discrimination, and lack of access to basic services.

International Youth Day events and activities are held around the world, including conferences, workshops, cultural events, and community service projects. These events promote the engagement of young people in social, economic, and political development and encourage their participation in creating a better future for themselves and their communities.

International Youth Day is an important reminder of the potential and power of young people to shape the world, and the need to invest in their education, employment, health, and well-being.
