INTERNATIONAL YOUTH DAY 2022: THEME
The theme of International Youth Day 2022 is "Intergenerational Solidarity: Creating a World for All Ages". To achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the world needs to leverage the full potential of all generations. Solidarity across generations is key to sustainable development.
As we navigate the third year of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is especially important to recognize and address these age-related barriers to “build back better” in a manner that leverages all generations’ strengths and knowledge.
The Focal Point on Youth selects a theme for the day, often with input from youth organisations and members of the UN Inter-Agency Network in Youth development. It also organises a virtual commemoration of the day. The Programme encourages youth around the world to organize activities to raise awareness about the situation of youth in their country.
For International Youth Day 2022, DESA worked with the Major Group on Children and Youth (MGCY) to organize a global webinar for its official commemoration. The webinar features an exchange of views on the topic of intergenerational solidarity, intergenerational equity, future generations, and ageism.
We urge all Youth groups and agencies to participate in programs that will enlighten, liberate and encourage Youths all over the world to enhance human capital building.
