Global Launch of the International Year of Youth

Thank you for viewing the United Nations public service announcement for the INTERNATIONAL YEAR OF YOUTH. This video was conceptualized and produced by the UN Programme on Youth and the UN Department of Public Information in partnership with youth. Its aim is to inform the public about the Year and to identify today's youth. Through everyday footage of youth in various roles, the audience is reminded that young people make important contributions to both their local communities and to our global society. Thanks to the creativity and enthusiasm of the United Nations Interns who contributed their images and voices, this video reflects cultural diversity and brings to life the theme of the Year: Dialogue and Mutual Understanding.

The UN General Assembly proclaimed the International Year of Youth from 12 August 2010 - 11 August 2011. Now, it's your turn to spread the word. Post and share this video with your friends and networks to raise awareness about the Year. Together, we can make the Year a real turning point for the empowerment of youth.
