Voices & Actions of Youth

We collected some testimonials from young people and their allies who are working with Youth 2030.

For me, this training workshop was very important because it gave me a better understanding of what the United Nations is and on how it is governed and run and in what way they support different community projects.

The main goal that caught my attention is SDG 4, which is quality education. I and my organization will promote quality education through workshops about the culture of my people and community and raise awareness amongst children and young people on cultural issues in schools and social and cultural settings.

Otavalango is for young people and others a living cultural museum. As advocates for our culture, we want to leave a legacy for our children. I believe that our best gift is unity in diversity, and that young people should become empowered to solve the local, regional and global problems.

Watch this video, where young people from in Otavalo, Ecuador share their experiences at a Youth 2030 Cities focus group discussion!
