The theme chosen for this year is “The Road to 2030: Eradicating Poverty and Achieving Sustainable Production and Consumption”. It will focus on how young people like you are ensuring poverty eradication and achieving sustainable development through sustainable production and consumption.

Events to celebrate International Youth Day 2016 will take place all over the world. Be part of the celebrations by organising your own event or activity. You can organise an event to celebrate International Youth Day in your community, school, youth club, or workplace.
