Three Ways Youth Are Engaging With The Global Goals

CIVIC ENGAGEMENT - Young people are taking a stand all over the world, claiming their right to be an active part of the system because we have learned just how much we can be affected. We demand a place in decision-making processes because if it concerns us, we must be a part of the conversation.

SOCIAL MEDIA - This is one of the most powerful tools that youth have been utilizing to engage with the global goals. The incredible momentum that led up to the adoption of the global goals was spurred in part by young people and the use of social media apps, such as Twitter and Facebook.

YOUTH EMPOWERING OTHER YOUTH - The ECOSOC Youth Forum was important for the hundreds of youth from all over the world that gathered because they were able to hear from experts and people on the ground, but most importantly they were able to hear and interact with other youth. I truly believe this is the most effective and inspiring way youth are engaging with the global goals because young people are not only doing their work for the global goals, they are also bringing other youth into the conversation and uplifting the global community of young generations.
