International Youth Day
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
International Youth Day is similar to Earth, Mother's or Father's Day. It is an opportunity for Governments and others to draw attention to youth issues worldwide. Around the world people organize concerts, workshops, cultural events, fund-raisers, rallies and meetings that involve national and local government officials, youth organizations and young people. International Youth day is on August 12 each year. It was designated by the United Nations in 1999 by the adoption of resolution 54/120. [1].
