26 сентября 2024
September 26, 2024, Ashgabat, Turkmenistan – As witnessed at the Summit of the Future, global attention is focused on addressing the most pressing challenges of our time—ranging from climate change and inequality to digital governance and peacebuilding. The Youth Action Days are an integral part of this process, offering a platform for young people to share their perspectives and shape the solutions that will define our collective future.
In this spirit, The UN Resident Coordinator’s Office in Turkmenistan hosted the #YouthLead for the Future Watch Parties, which will allow the young people to actively participate in the Youth Action Days and related side events. The event aimed to discuss on key topics and an opportunity to connect with fellow youth leaders from around the world, inspire young people to think about their role in building a sustainable and inclusive future.
Young participants aged 13-24 took part in the event, engaging in discussions. The UN RCO team shared their knowledge on topics like youth leadership, job opportunities, and sustainable development, while the youth expressed their views and ideas on how they can contribute to positive change in their communities.
#YouthLead watch parties are global events designed to connect young people and promote conversations about leadership and social impact. These events help youth understand how they can take action on challenges such as climate change, gender equality, and employment, while working towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
This watch party provided a valuable platform for youth in Turkmenistan to learn, connect, and get inspired to take part in future initiatives. The UN Resident Coordinator’s Office is committed to continuing its efforts to support youth-led projects and further engage young people in shaping a brighter future.
