Ekiti State Sustainable Goals in Collaboration with Ekiti State Ministry of Youth and Sport will be joining the Global World in commemorating and celebrating the 2020 International Youth Day on. The United Nation’s (UN) Internatioal Youth Day is celebrated on August 12 each year to recognize efforts of the world’s Youth in enhancing global society. This year International Youth Day will be celebrated on Wednesday August 12, 2020 with the theme, “Youth Engagement For Global Action”

Celebrating The International Youth Day aims to promote ways to engage them in becoming more actively involved in making positive contributions to their communities. In line with UN Directive for 2020 International Youth Day Celebration, the aim of IYD 2020 is “To shed light on the need to enable the engagement of youth by making local, national and global institutions more inclusive for the purpose of strengthening their capacity (and relevance) to achieve global action” 

This year’s IYD seeks to put the spotlight on youth engagement through the following three interconnected streams:

1. Engagement at the local/community level;
2. Engagement at the national level (formulation of laws, policies, and their implementation); and,
3. Engagement at the global level.
