World
Youth Skills Day
The world celebrates
World Youth Skills Day annually on July 15. In 2014, the United Nations General
Assembly declared 15 July as World Youth Skills Day, to celebrate the strategic
importance of equipping young people with skills for employment, decent work
and entrepreneurship.
The theme for World
Youth Skills Day 2024, "Youth Skills for Peace and Development,"
underscores the crucial role young people play in peacebuilding and conflict
resolution.
The world faces a
multitude of challenges today, many of which affect the youth. Violent
conflicts disrupting education and stability, a polarized online environment
fostering negativity, and persistent economic inequality limits opportunities.
These issues
threaten not only individual futures but also the overall stability of societies.
It is crucial to equip youth with the necessary skills for fostering a culture
of peace, nurturing responsible global citizens, and promoting sustainable
development to build a more just, inclusive, and sustainable future for all.
On World Youth
Skills Day, let us unite in recognizing the potential of young people as agents
of peace and commit to providing them with the skills and opportunities to
address challenges and contribute to a peaceful, prosperous, and sustainable
future.
