1. a. Do you celebrate International Youth Day? How do you think young people celebrate it? Read and check your guesses.

The United Nations’ (UN) International Youth Day is celebrated on August 12. It aims to encourage the world’s youth to become more actively involved in making positive contributions to their communities.

Many activities and events that take place around the world on International Youth Day promote the benefits that young people bring into the world. Many countries participate in this global event, which may include youth conferences on issues such as education and the environment. There are also various concerts, festivals, sporting events, and mobile exhibitions that showcase young people’s achievements. According to the UN’s definition, the world’s youth are the age group between 15 and 24 years old. Today, there are 1.2 billion young people, making up 16 per cent of the global population. Many of these young men and women live in developing countries and their numbers are expected to rise.

The idea for International Youth Day was proposed in 1991 by young people at the first session of the UN’s World Youth Forum in Vienna, Austria. In 1998 a resolution proclaiming August 12 as International Youth Day was adopted during the World Conference of Ministers Responsible for Youth. International Youth Day was first observed in 2000. One of the year’s highlights was when eight Latin American and Caribbean youth organisations received United Nations World Youth Awards in Panama City, Panama.

The UN logo is often associated with this event. There is a projection of a world map, enclosed by olive branches in it. The olive branches symbolise peace and the world map represents all the people of the world.
