Get ready for International Youth Day 2025

Designated by the United Nations, August 12th marks International Youth Day – a global celebration that brings the world together to raise awareness of the cultural and legal issues affecting young people.

Celebrated for the first time on 12 August 2000, the International Youth Day is an opportunity for young people to draw attention to youth issues around the world, including mental health and independent living. 

To mark this special day, the IF International Youth Group SBH is organising a webinar under the theme: ‘Dreaming beyond barriers’. 

The webinar aims to bring together young people with disabilities and youth activists from anywhere in the world, to discuss your dreams and goals, and the way you advocate to achieve them.
