Each August 12, the world celebrates International Youth Day. It is quite
a recent world event - the first IYD was on August 12, 2000. It was
established by the UN (United Nations Organisation). IYD is a chance for
people all around the world to focus on problem s of young people.
The them e of IYD 2019 was “ Better education” . Good education is very
im portant to achieve developm ent and can stop wars and poverty. It leads
to good health, gender equality, w ork and growth, action on clim ate or
peaceful societies.
IYD helps remind us that we have to think about the better future of
young people. It is a chance to ask ourselves: what kind of future world do
we want fo r our youth? What can we do? There are a lot of IYD events in
your local area. They are workshops, talks, conferences, concerts, cultural
events and meetings. Get involved. Help create a brighter future!
