3.1 billion people around the globe are younger than 25 years. About 90 percent of them live in the global south ─ often representing the absolute majority of the population. With the 2030 Agenda, the world community has committed itself to realize the rights of children in all sectors and to address the key issues of young people. Corruption in particular threatens the development of young people in education and employment. At the same time,
young people are agents of change. They are more open to social transformation, they use modern ways of communication, and they engage in social entrepreneurship.
This workshop discusses
what drives young people today, what they think, and how they learn. Panellists come from different groups of society that have an impact on the development of young people.
