Happy International Youth Day.
This year's theme is "Different Contexts, Common Aspirations." Ours is simple.
We are youth-led, so the people writing this are the people being written about today.
Across the regions we work in, including with young refugees and internally displaced young people, being young rarely means being left out of the conversation. It means arriving after the decision. Consulted at the workshop, thanked at the closing, absent when the budget is set.
We are not asking to be consulted. We are asking for participation: a seat while the outcome is still open.
That is why EYPD exists.
The first cohort of our National Volunteer Programme opens this month. Young people from refugee, displaced, and crisis-affected communities are especially encouraged to apply.
