Make the voice of young people from IBVM and CJ networks heard at the United Nations
How?
The United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) is one of the six principal organs of the United Nations, serving as the central forum for discussing international economic and social issues and formulating policy recommendations addressed to member states and the United Nations system.
The Youth Forum, held annually by ECOSOC since 2012, brings youth into discussions on the Millennium Development Goals and the post-2015 development agenda. It offers a unique opportunity for youth to voice their opinions, share ideas, and think together about what they can do to achieve sustainable development.
