This year the theme of International Youth Day 2020, "Youth Engagement for Global Action" sought to highlight how the engagement of young people at the local, national and global levels is enriching national and multilateral institutions and processes.

And, draw lessons on how their representation and engagement in formal institutional politics could be significantly enhanced.  

On this occasion,  Nahim Razzaq, Member of Parliament (MP) spoke about how to overcome and learn from failures. He said that the young generation needs to be familiarised with government practices and placing them with internships so that they can be more skilled to be part of social changes. 

He also mentioned how the youth of the country showed immense courage by distributing relief without caring about their safety.

Shah Ali Farhad, special assistant to the Honourable Prime Minister, opined that engaging with youth will help us to understand them better and know their views and make them involved in more humanitarian causes.

Korvi Rakshand, founder & executive director- JAAGO Foundation, said, the youth have always played a vital role and will always be the first responders in times of need. Adding that they were the changemakers and nation builders. 

"Currently, 50 percent of our population is under the age of 25, and this will reach 70 percent by 2030. It's high time we equip these young minds, or else we won't have a better Bangladesh tomorrow," he further added. 

He expressed that at JAAGO Foundation, they celebrate the International Youth Day every year. Still, this time around, due to the risk of health issues in social gatherings and field activation, they planned to celebrate this by hosting a series of webinars covering different aspects of social development.

These will be enlightened with the participation of enthusiastic youths and renowned personalities from all over the country. 

Summit, Bangladesh's largest infrastructure conglomerate, was the key supporter of the event, whereas IPDC, Annisul Huq Foundation, SBK Foundation, Kludio and Bongo were the webinar partners.
