| 13.07.15 | The International Youth Day - August 12, 2015 |
theme of this year is Civic engagement .
We are pleased to share with you some materials developed by UN. This year
there is a Campaign leading up to the International Youth Day. The Campaign
will open up a space for young people to share
their stories and ideas on civic engagement activities. Young people will be
able to share their message by submitting a photograph that relates to the
theme, by tweeting ideas and opinions on the theme using #YouthDay, or by
organizing an International Youth
Day Event. Attached is the Social Media advisory and some messages.
What could be done:
- Tweets about the positive impact of youth participating in youth
civic engagement activities
- Photos of young people portraying how they engage in and promote
civic engagement activities for change
- Spread the word about International Youth Day – share materials
via FB, Twitter and Instagram using the hashtags #YouthDay
- Organize an event to celebrate International Youth Day in your
community, school, youth club, or workplace. You can get some ideas from
our toolkit
We encourage you to disseminate the information about the IYD to all your
partners and actively get involved in the online and offline activities!
