Today we celebrate International Youth Day – but also the culmination of a full year devoted to involving young people as active partners in development. In 2009, the UN General Assembly adopted Resolution 64/134 proclaiming the International Year of Youth from 12 August 2010 to 11 August 2011 with the theme ‘Dialogue and Mutual Understanding’. The aim has been to reach across generations, cultures, religions and civilisations and promote the ideals of peace, respect for human rights, and solidarity.
