International Youth Day takes place on the 12th of August each year. This day is dedicated to recognising the importance of young people in our global society and highlighting the challenges they face. It serves as a platform to promote awareness about the needs and rights of youth, encouraging communities and policymakers to address issues such as education, employment, health, and social inclusion.

The United Nations established International Youth Day in 1999 to focus on the potential of young people as partners in today’s global society. The day emphasises the importance of investing in youth and creating opportunities for their growth and development. It also aims to encourage young people to contribute to their communities and to be actively involved in decision-making processes that affect their lives.

To celebrate International Youth Day, various events and activities are organised worldwide, including youth conferences, workshops, cultural performances, and community projects. These events provide young people with the opportunity to voice their opinions, share their experiences, and connect with peers from different backgrounds.

To bring the spirit of International Youth Day to your social media, here are some content ideas:

  • Share the history and significance of the day.
  • Post a poll asking followers about the biggest challenges facing youth today.
  • Create a photo contest encouraging followers to share images of youth-led initiatives.
  • Highlight key achievements of young people in various fields.
  • Share tips on how to support youth empowerment and development.
  • Post videos of youth voices and stories from around the world.
  • Share infographics on youth demographics and statistics.
  • Highlight personal stories and testimonials from young leaders.
  • Encourage followers to participate in or organise youth-related events.
  • Post a guide on how to mentor and support young people in your community.
