1. Leverage youth creativity and innovation
“Young people are creative and add new ways of doing business, as well as new ways of coping with the effects of the pandemic.” - Carlo Delù, Technical SME Development Officer at the ILO
At the Online Global Youth Forum, participants will share their ideas about youth-centered COVID-19 coping mechanisms. They will collaborate with global leaders and policy makers on concrete solutions that work for all.
2. Involve youth in post-COVID planning
“I think for young people it might be easier to imagine how future societies will be and what their needs will be.” - Claudio Cerabino, Junior Policy Analyst at the OECD
Young people are already influencing the international agenda and contributing to the SDGs. The Forum will be a place to expand existing partnerships between stakeholders and create new ones.
