A unique opportunity to bring together youth, Member States (including their youth delegates), and UN stakeholders to discuss issues under the Third Committee's mandate on social action and a wide range of critical issues ranging from issues related to youth, persons with disabilities, cybercrime, broader social development nexus and promotion of fundamental dignity for all.
The programme will feature a brief opening segment and 2 panels, followed by an interactive discussion/dialogue from the floor, interspersed between member states and youth. The convening of this Youth Event also comes at a pivotal moment in the multilateral agenda, as this year marks the first phase of implementation of the Pact, and preparations are underway for the Second World Summit for Social Development (WSSD2) - taking place this November - which will renew a collective vision for social development. Similarly, the youth constituency has been undertaking a year-long process towards meaningful engagement in the WSSD2 processes, which will be amplified through this youth event. A historic milestone for youth engagement at the United Nations. For the first time, the Chair of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) Third Committee is convening a Youth Event during the UNGA Third Committee, in partnership with the Major Group for Children and Youth (MGCY).
