UN DAY: International Youth Day

  • Thu, August 12, 2021
  • 8:00 AM
  • -

The United Nations has designated 2021 as the International Year of Peace and Trust.

On 17 December 1999, the General Assembly endorsed the recommendations of the World Conference of Ministers of Youth and proclaimed August 12 as International Youth Day, with the aim of:

  • Improving youth participation in the activities of the United Nations as well as in society and in decision-making.
  • Developing policies in priority areas such as education, employment, hunger and poverty, health, environment, drug abuse and juvenile delinquency.
  • Developing channels of communication and cooperation between youth organizations of the United Nations agencies and other intergovernmental youth organizations.

The Focal Point on Youth selects a theme for the day often with input from youth organizations and members of the UN Inter-Agency Network in Youth development. It also organizes a virtual commemoration of the Day. The Program encourages youth around the world to organize activities to raise awareness about the situation of youth in their country.
