On the occasion of International Youth Day, we would like to take the time to celebrate the reason our energies and passions are constantly renewed, our inspiration for innovation, our raison d’être – YOU, our young IDs! Thank you for being you and for choosing us as your partners your journey to success. As an ode to you, here are a few facts on why you are so important to us.
The History Of International Youth Day
Because the youth are really our future, it is only apt that you have your own day that the world celebrates! International Youth Day was first endorsed in 1999 at the United Nations General Assembly as a way to raise awareness about the situation of the youth worldwide and to encourage governments to develop activities that enhance their situation. Last year’s focus was on creating safe spaces for youth. This year, the theme is “Transforming Education”, and we couldn’t be more proud of being part of this clarion call to invest in our youth.
