International Youth Day

This International Youth Day, United Nations agencies in India are coming together for a digital campaign in line with the theme of IYD -- From Clicks to Progress: Youth Digital Pathways for Sustainable Development. The campaign aims to put a spotlight on digital initiatives and solutions led by youth and those that engage with youth.

Young people are digital natives. Through their digital networks they are not just connecting to millions but bringing social change and benefiting the disadvantaged in society. 

To highlight such stories, the UN in India is inviting young people to share videos of themselves or young people they know who use digital solutions to bring positive change. 

In the campaign, you are expected to submit videos that help us to showcase: 

• Young people using tech to drive inclusive sustainable development
• Digital inclusion – access to digital technologies, services, and associated opportunities for everyone, everywhere
• Tech that bridges the gaps across the digital divide
• Safe online spaces for youth,, especially women and girls and youth belonging to marginalized populations
• Digital initiatives that tackle misinformation and disinformation 

Guidelines

• Video can be simple, shot and recorded on your mobile phone
• Length of video should be between 1 and 1.5 minutes
• Video should, as best possible, showcase the initiative/innovation
• Start the video with your name and location
• Use the hashtag #YouthForChange 

Submission

Please share the video from your handles tagging the UN in India platforms. Select videos will be shared and reposted by social accounts of UN India and UN agencies in India.
