There are 1.8 billion young people around the world, and they have a lot to say!
This International Youth Day, we want to invite young people around the world to raise their voices and share their thoughts and ideas. And we want to invite everyone to take some time to listen to the #VoicesOfYouth.
Check out some of the entries we received!
How can you be a part of this #YouthDay?
✍🏽 If you are between 13 and 24 years old, submit a blog (between 300 and 1000 words), poem or spark. If you are new to our site, here you can create an account and here’s all the information on how to submit.
We invite you to submit texts that answer some of these questions:
-
What are your hopes and struggles as a young person?
-
What do you think people misunderstand about young people like you?
-
What do you want to change in the world?
-
How can we make young voices heard?
-
Any thoughts you want to share related to youth, being young, the place of youth in the world, or anything else!
On 12 August, we will amplify the submissions and your voices on our website and social media channels. If you want your submission to be included in this activation, add #YouthDay to the title.
📢 If you are above 24, we invite you to take some time to listen to young people and amplify their voices. Explore their ideas and get inspired by their thoughts.
Also, follow Voices of Youth on Instagram and Twitter, and share with your followers to keep the conversation going!
