Shillong, August 10: The Meghalaya AIDS Control Society will be observing Sunday as the International Youth Day with different Red Ribbon Clubs from various colleges through a “Flash Mob” campaign at MUDA complex on Saturday.
The “Flash Mob “will take place from 1.30 pm where youths of the RRC will come together to show their support to fight HIV and AIDS.
Each year the International Youth Day is assigned a theme; a conceptual slogan that communicates the scope, direction, and objectives of the year’s youth initiatives and that also provides a unifying banner from under which individuals can draw the inspiration to take action.
The theme chosen for International Youth Day 2012-Building a Better World: Partnering with Youth– which is a global call to action for young men and women, as well as other stakeholders around the world, to develop and engage in partnerships with and for youth towards a better world.
The International Youth Day 2012 provides an opportunity to build upon the priorities of the secretary general’s action agenda, as well as to respond to calls from youth organizations and UN member states around the world to strengthen mechanisms for partnerships with young people.
This is done by exploring various and innovative ways that the United Nation’s, member states, civil society, the private sector, academia and philanthropists effectively partner and collaborate with young people, especially in the areas of employment, entrepreneurship, political inclusion, citizenship and protection of rights, and education, including on sexual and reproductive health.- By Our Reporter
