SUSTAINABILITY: Our Challenge. Our Future.
Sustainability does not only refer to maintaining environmental balance and renewal. Sustainability encapsulates three facets of life: the environment, society, and the economy. We live our lives in the overlaps and intersections of these facets, and our actions and attitudes help shape them. Their changing shapes in turn affect the way we are able to live our lives. The negative effects of unsustainable behaviour are not easily contained. As has been proven by the global crises in food, the economy and the environment, the concept of the global village has gone beyond being a useful analogy to being a hard reality, making clear the need to adopt a global sense of social responsibility.
With these things in mind, as the energizers of today and the holders of tomorrow, it is imperative that youth embrace the challenge of sustainability in its fullness as they help pave the way forward through the 21st century and beyond. Youth action, inclusion, and their full participation are key to developing today’s world for the generations of today and tomorrow and central to a sustainable existence.
In Rwanda International Youth Day will be celebrated by by organizing different workshops and seminars in 4 to 3 days before the actual day by which youth could be learning about international issues like problems of environments, MDGs, promotion of young girls and women, and some other challenges which are not direct but that can bring about direct challenges and national issues and after asked their point of views for solving such issues. We wish also to integrate private sector by setting some concerts and Youth Talent Exhibition by the evening of the actual day.
Note: This is a proposal from UN Youth Delegates for Rwanda the Year 2009, not authentic one. However, we will liase with concerned governmental bodies and (I)NGOs for coming up with final scheme. |
