A Day to Celebrate Young Ones
You may wonder who I am addressing specifically, well it’s YOU my friends; the youth international conclave. Those of you who are going from dependence to independence. You who is reading this, who is lost currently, have a passion, a dream and thinking of how to make it through. Do you know it’s your birthday today? Let me explain.
In the year 2000 United Nations officially declared that August 12th should always be observed as youth day internationally. It’s a day where we educate the public on issues or concern, mobilize political will and resources to address global problems and to celebrate and reinforce the achievements of humanity. This day enables many young ones to understand to their values and commit to knowledge, skills and information to shape the future we will receive. After all we are one-sixth of the whole population and the fate of this planet will be in our hands soon.
In the last two decades, IYD (international youth day) has been celebrated with lot achievement and work on new sets of goals, this year is no different. Despite the first half the year was challenging because of a pandemic that has taken over the world and everyone was forced to stay home and take education and involve via social media. It hasn’t stopped this vibrant youth from making their voices heard on many issues. With all interactions of our common life routines still continue to stay positive, active and laud. Knowing this the IYD theme for this year is “Engagement for Global Action.” It’s about time to raiseour voices to make a difference in this world where we are going to lead soon and be in charge of its fate for the next generations. Its helps to enhance the young generation movement in national and multilateral institutions while analyzing the previous involvement and make better representations of the youth especially in politics.
The youth has had a very active involvement in previous political changes and movement but recently it has come view that many have lack of trust and less involvement in politics. History shows us many changes came from the youth who rose against unfairness, racism, discrimination and their sacrifice has brought better solutions and answers to many questions. But now a days the youth involvement has become less and less. It’s really sad to see lack of involvement in such important issues. Choices like climate change and issues like discrimination and racism is being ignored by few yet powerful world leaders and the youth is giving up on using their opportunity to vote and change this directive. So we say it about time to stand up from behind of our social medias and trolling into the reality and the recon force to the new change.
So how about celebrating this year’s International youth day with an organization that believes in you and its vision is “bridging youth leadership across the world”. Being a leader is a process where you can influence others and help accomplish an objective and directs it more visible goal. Youth International Conclave (YIC) believes in you despite your background because its effort is creating opportunities for you to raise to your potential. Believe if you bring various groups of youth who are equipped with technical, educational, cultural know how together they are going to drive a new change for the new generation and better tomorrow.
