We agree @FLOTUS: “Today, almost half of the world’s population is under the age of 25. And they are feeling the pain of the challenges we face…
…But with their passion and potential, with their hope and heart, youth can lead us all to a better future.”
Today @FLOTUS joined a flag raising ceremony to celebrate the return of the United States to @UNESCO. The ceremony honors the reaffirmation of the U.S. commitment to global collaboration on education, culture, and science, as it rejoins UNESCO's diverse community of nations.
The @AIYD2 capped Day 2 of the Summit with an interagency discussion on how #youth can collaborate, consult, and inform U.S. Foreign Assistance policy. The panel agreed that youth representation is a necessity. #GYEOSummit#YEO2030
“When [#youth] feel supported and respected, it translates to them having economic success,” said Taibat Hussain, a #young entrepreneur and #YEO2030 Action Team member. She represented #youth voices in the interagency discussion at the #GYEOSummit plenary hosted by @AIYD2.
