YOUTH EVENT: #UNAOCyouth
#UNAOCyouth
15:00-18:00, Monday, 19 Nov, Room 4
In this year’s forum, we are bringing to UNHQ 100 youth who constitute our Alumni. They are youth leaders who are engaged in grassroots activities and who have been beneficiaries of UNAOC’s programmes and initiatives over the past ten years. Innovative formats will be used to ensure participation by all 100 young people. They will share their achievements in areas such as peacebuilding, media and the use of new technologies, and the prevention of violent extremism. Good practices from the partnership between youth and UNAOC will also be discussed. The forum will additionally provide space for young people’s input towards operationalization of the recently launched UN Youth Strategy.
