Celebrating International Youth Day 2024 This year, the International Youth Day is being celebrated from August 8th to 12th with the theme "Transforming Food Systems: Youth Innovation for Human and Planetary Health." This week-long celebration, organized by the Youth Initiative, will highlight the crucial role young people play in addressing global challenges and creating sustainable solutions for our planet. The celebrations will feature a range of engaging events and activities, including mental health education, discussions on environment and climate change, programs focusing on youth engagement in politics and democracy, and seminars on social economy and social entrepreneurship. The main International Youth Day celebration will take place on August 12th, coinciding with the Nepal Summit of the Future, providing a platform for young leaders to share their ideas and contribute to shaping the global agenda. Throughout the week, there will also be leadership development workshops, entrepreneurship skills enhancement sessions, and a youth-friendly governance discussion program. Since 1999, the United Nations has recognized the 12th of August as International Youth Day, dedicated to addressing the issues and concerns of the youth. In Nepal, the day has been celebrated since 2004, led by organizations working closely with young people. While the government has introduced various youth-focused programs, there is still a need for more effective implementation to ensure that young people can truly benefit from these initiatives. This year's celebrations present an opportunity to amplify the voices of youth and showcase their innovative solutions to pressing global challenges. I encourage everyone to participate in the upcoming International Youth Day celebrations and join us in supporting the transformative power of youth.
