International Youth Day 2008
12 August, 2008
Well, it has been quite a while.
Since 2000, 12 August has been International Youth Day. This year’s theme is: “Youth and Climate Change: Time for Action”. No word on any domestic events for Australians – but check out the Australian Youth Climate Coalition, which runs projects all year round.
For further information on International Youth Day, see the official UN webpage at http://www.un.org/esa/socdev/unyin/iyouthday.htm. The Australian Minister for Youth, The Hon Kate Ellis MP, has a media release at http://mediacentre.dewr.gov.au/mediacentre/Ellis/Releases/CelebratingInternationalYouthDay.htm.
