DOHA: In a powerful collaboration aimed at inspiring and empowering the next generation of leaders, GPDnet, Katara, and Unesco have joined forces to launch an online campaign in conjunction with International Youth Day 2024 on August 12, echoing the theme of this year: “From Clicks to Progress: Youth Digital Pathways for Sustainable Development.”

This month-long initiative, running from August 1 to 31, 2024, seeks to shed light on the critical role of youth in shaping the world when they are holistically engaged, and to highlight the various programs and initiatives designed to support their holistic engagement, growth, and development.

International Youth Day serves as a global platform to celebrate the contributions of young people and to address the challenges they face. This year’s campaign, spearheaded by GPDnet, Katara, and Unesco, aligns perfectly with the organization’s core mission of engaging youth in public diplomacy and fostering their leadership potential.

GPDnet, a leading platform dedicated to public diplomacy, recognizes the immense power of youth to drive positive change. By encouraging young individuals to actively participate in PD programs, the organization aims to equip them with the necessary skills and knowledge to become effective global citizens.

Katara, a cultural hub renowned for its commitment to arts and heritage, provides a rich environment for youth to explore their creativity and cultural identity. Youth is a priority group for Unesco. Recognizing Youth’s creativity, innovation, and capacity to drive change, Unesco works with its partners to ensure youth holistic engagement in policies and programs, empowering them to contribute to peace and sustainable development in their countries.
