"Your voice matters. Use it. Own it. And never let anyone tell you change isn't possible."

This International Youth Day, advocate and @UN_Women Regional Goodwill Ambassador @JahaENDFGM reminds us how the @UN has empowered young people to drive change and shape a better future.

Fantastic news for young people coming out of today’s EU-UK Summit 2025 as a commitment in principle is agreed for the UK to re-join the Erasmus+ programme, the international programme for education, training, youth and sport in Europe.

NYA advocated tirelessly for access to Erasmus+ through our seat at the table on the UK/EU negotiations with UK Young Ambassador @CuttinMaurizio representing BYC, spearheading the push in NYA’s space on the group.
