In the week that global leaders gather for the opening of the UN General Assembly, this high-level virtual event marks the beginning of the coalition for young people and future generations. At its heart will be the voices of a new generation of leaders, activists, and thinkers, in dialogue with their peers from other generations.
We will commit to working together to deliver young people’s priorities for the next and future generations and explore how we can overcome the barriers that prevent young people from acquiring the power and influence to shape their futures.
This meeting is hosted by the world’s most far-reaching youth-led and youth-focused networks and movements including BRAC, Girl Up, Global Youth Mobilization, the International Federation of the Red Cross (IFRC), World Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA), World Young Women’s Christian Association (YWCA), the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS), the World Organisation of the Scout Movement (WOSM), The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award (The Award), Restless Development and the Youth Collective, the Global Shapers Community at the World Economic Forum, and the UN Foundation.
