International Youth Day 

International Youth Day is celebrated every year on August 12 to recognize the potential of young people to shape the future.  

The theme for International Youth Day 2023 is "Green Skills for Youth: Towards a Sustainable World." This theme highlights the importance of young people having the skills they need to contribute to the green transition and build a more sustainable future. 

The Significance of International Youth Day 

International Youth Day was established by the United Nations in 1999 to recognize the importance of young people as a driving force for change, development, and innovation.  

It provides an opportunity to raise awareness about the challenges and issues faced by young individuals, while also celebrating their achievements and potential.  

The day promotes dialogue and understanding between generations, fostering a sense of unity and collaboration in addressing global concerns. 

Ways Youth Are Contributing to Positive Change:

  • Environmental Stewardship: Young people are at the forefront of the fight against climate change. 
  • Innovation and Technology: The youth are embracing technological advancements to address societal challenges. 
  • Social Activism: Many young activists are leading campaigns and advocating for social justice, equality, and human rights. 
  • Entrepreneurship: The entrepreneurial spirit of young people is driving economic growth and job creation. 
  • Education and Empowerment: Youth-led educational initiatives are bridging gaps in access to education. They are working to provide quality learning opportunities to underserved communities, helping to break the cycle of poverty and inequality.

How Organizations Can celebrate International Youth Day?

Here are some suggestions for workplace activities to celebrate International Youth Day: 

  • Career Development Workshops (Organisations can host workshops where young employees can learn about career development, networking, and job search strategies)
