Over the last years, and as the world community is preparing for the 2015 review of the Millennium Development Goals, launched in 2000, young

people have been at the center of the international development discourse. Invest in Youth. Young People bear the future of the generations to come.

Unleash young people’s potential. Such phrases have become common among policy – and decision-makers and make the headlines in social

media and at various youth fora around the globe.
