Engaging young people in international debates is a major priority of the UN. Youth participation in the advancement of the Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is of critical importance, as young people will make up the future: and it is they who will most experience the impact of the Agenda’s success or failure. 

With the objective of engaging youth in discussions on sustainable development and to familiarize them with the SDGs, while raising awareness about the crucial role they have to play in this global endeavor, the International Training Centre for Authorities and Leaders (CIFAL) in Shanghai and UNITAR hosted the “Youth Engagement Workshop” held at the United Nations European Headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland.

To give youth the opportunity to learn more about

  • the UN system and UNITAR at large, as well as the work of the CIFAL Global Network
  • the most ambitious project ever undertaken by mankind: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

After this workshop, participants will have knowledge of

  • The work of the UN at large, UNITAR and its CIFAL Global Network
