The Office of Youth Affairs will host a Proclamation Reading of International Youth Day 2024 – which has a theme of “From Clicks to Progress: Youth Digital Pathways for Sustainable Development” — on Monday [August 12] at City Hall.
A Government spokesperson said, “International Youth Day is an annual observance that highlights the importance of young people in the global community. It serves as an opportunity to raise awareness of the challenges and opportunities facing the world’s youth and to celebrate their achievements and contributions.
“For over two decades, this day has focused on the vital role of young people in shaping a sustainable future. From addressing food security and mental health to fostering intergenerational solidarity and green skills, International Youth Day has consistently highlighted the essential contributions of youth to sustainable development.
“This year, International Youth Day 2024 is themed “From Clicks to Progress: Youth Digital Pathways for Sustainable Development.” This theme underscores the significant role of young people in driving digitalization and innovation.
