International Youth Day on August 12 focuses on
the difficulties that some young people are
experiencing throughout the world. Half the
children between the age of six and 13 lack basic
reading and math skills and childhood poverty is
still a prevalent problem globally. International
Youth Day was created by the UN to help draw
awareness to these issues as we strive to find
solutions. It’s a day for reflection but also a day
for taking action so get involved. There’ll be many
concerts, workshops and cultural events taking

YOUTH DAY
HISTORY OF
INTERNATIONAL
YOUTH DAY
In 1965 the United Nations General Assembly
began making a concerted effort to impact the
youth. They endorsed the Declaration on the
Promotion among Youth of the Ideals of Peace,
Mutual Respect and Understanding between
Peoples. They began devoting time and resources
to empower the youth by recognizing up-and-
coming leaders and offering them resources to
meet the needs of the world.
The theme of International Youth Day 2020 was
“Youth Engagement for Global Action”.
The aim of this theme was to call attention to the
ways in which the participation of young people at
the national and international levels is
complimenting national and multilateral
institutions and processes. Another important aim
was to draw lessons on how their involvement in
institutional politics can be increased.
