Today’s
youth are raising their voices to shape the present and futures of
their countries. They want to be heard, to be included in
decision-making debates and to make change. Student engagement, social
innovation, fostering democracy, youth employment, conflict and
sustainable development are among the issues that will be discussed on
the floor of the 7th UNESCO Youth Forum.
