Happy International Youth Day!
This year’s #YouthDay celebrates the power of partnerships and calls for intergenerational solidarity to create a world for all.
In a video message commemorating #IYD2022, the UN Secretary-General, António Guterres, called for people, young and old, to join together to create a world for all ages.
“On this important day, let’s join hands across generations to break down barriers, and work as one to achieve a more equitable, just and inclusive world for all people," he said.
Through its events, @unitednations_oda & #Youth4Disarmament facilitate opportunities for intergenerational dialogue to engage, educate and empower young people on disarmament issues, including the recent exchanges between young leaders with Ms. Setsuko Thurlow and #NPT senior leaders.
By working together, we can build a peaceful, more sustainable future for current and future generations.

🤩 Meet #RSNYLC member, Yoshino “Yoyo” W.! 🤩
Yoyo is a sophomore from San Diego, California. This is her first year on the Roots & Shoots National Youth Leadership Council. Her favorite Roots & Shoots project is “Music for Peace,” through which she compiles videos of herself playing the Koto, or Japanese harp, integrated with nature videos. This project is important to Yoyo because she’s able to incorporate her love of music with a way to help her community. She hopes to expand the project in the future by collaborating with other musicians who have the same vision. Yoyo is passionate about social justice, combating illegal wildlife trade and animal abuse, and mental health. She has led projects to help foster animals, bring music to others, and write letters or support and love to patients in mental facilities and hospitals. Yoyo enjoys dancing and values spending time with her family, friends, and rescue pets.
