International Youth Day was first established by the United Nations General Assembly in 1999 through Resolution 54/120, following a recommendation made by the World Conference of Ministers Responsible for Youth held in Lisbon in 1998.
The day was designated to be celebrated annually on August 11, with the aim of raising awareness about the issues faced by young people around the world and promoting their active involvement in addressing these challenges.
International Youth Day is observed worldwide on August 11 to celebrate the achievements, potential, and contributions of young people to society. The day aims to encourage the active participation of young people in various aspects of social, economic, and political life and to raise awareness about the challenges they face.
International Youth Day focuses on several key aspects:
Empowerment: Empowering young people to take an active role in decision-making processes that affect their lives and to contribute positively to their communities and societies.
Education: Promoting access to quality education and lifelong learning opportunities for all young people, regardless of their background or circumstances.
Employment: Encouraging the creation of decent jobs and economic opportunities for young people, as well as the development of skills that match labor market demands.
Health: Supporting the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of young people and addressing issues such as mental health, substance abuse, and sexual and reproductive health.
Peace and security: Encouraging young people’s involvement in peacebuilding and conflict resolution efforts and promoting a culture of tolerance, non-violence, and respect for diversity.
Each year, International Youth Day focuses on a specific theme, which is chosen by the United Nations to highlight a particular issue or challenge faced by young people. Activities and events organized on this day include conferences, workshops, cultural events, and online campaigns, often with the support of the United Nations and other international organizations. The day serves as a reminder of the importance of investing in the development and well-being of young people, who represent the future of our global community.
