A world of knowledge and inspiration for youth workers like you
Our Virtual Community Forum is an opportunity to learn from other youth workers and gain valuable insights from experts in our field.
The panelists, from different corners of the world, each brought a wealth of knowledge and diverse perspectives to this conversation. It was eye-opening to hear how similar the experiences of young people are around the world today.
No matter what type of youth work you do, or your level of experience, this event has something for you. This celebration of International Youth Day is full of inspiration. You'll hear innovative ideas. And gain practical strategies that you can implement in your own work.
Why we celebrate International Youth Day
The idea was first proposed by young people at the United Nations World Forum in 1991. Then, in 1998, August 12 was adopted as the date to celebrate this event each year.
The whole idea these young people came up with was to acknowledge the important role young people can play. And it encourages us to see all the ways they can contribute to positive change. The day raises awareness all around the world about issues young people are facing and addressing.
Your participation helps to ensure youth programs everywhere are doing their part to engage young people in global action for change. This year’s theme is Green Skills for Youth: Towards a Sustainable World. Young people everywhere will need to learn green skills for the 8.4 million new jobs projected to be created by 2030.
