- 10 August 2020
In 1999, the 12th of August was declared International Youth Day.
Since then, the day has been dedicated to celebrate and mainstream young peoples’ voices, actions and initiatives, as well as their meaningful, universal and equitable engagement.
2020 Theme: Youth Engagement for Global Action
The commemoration of IYD 2020 will take the form of a podcast-style discussion led by youth for youth. Creative elements, such as spoken word artists, will also be utilized to break up the substantive discussions.
