Celebrate Int'l Youth Day
International Youth Day is a great time to celebrate and learn to appreciate the next generation–as well as the future of humankind–by getting on board to celebrate International Youth Day!
History of International Youth Day
Youth Day presents an opportunity for every country to assess their investment in and commitment to youth, as well as general education (both of and to youth).
Endorsed by the United Nations in 1999 after a recommendation was made by the World Conference of Ministers Responsible for Youth, the first International Youth Day took place in the summer of 2000. Although its purpose was certainly meant to inspire and encourage leaders of countries to be aware of issues related to youth, its sentiment can be passed down far away from political leaders and into the culture of each land’s up and coming generations.
That means that International Youth Day should not only be engaged at a global level and national level, but also at a local level. And this can be done by the people who know and love the youth of their communities.
International Youth Day is meant to empower young people to participate in public life so that they are prepared and equipped to contribute to society’s development all around the world.
It’s time to celebrate International Youth Day!

WORD OF THE DAY
chevachee
Jalal ad-Din Khwarazmshah crossing the rapid Indus River, escaping Genghis Khan and his army
MEANING:noun: An expedition, raid, or campaign.
ETYMOLOGY:From French chevauchée (ride), from cheval (horse), from Latin caballus (horse). Earliest documented use: 1380.
USAGE:“Nicolas Sarkozy, the French President, brings a secret weapon with him today. It, or rather she, is his mother-in-law. ... This makes it a unique chevachee in the long history of Anglo-French ententes cordiales and not so cordiales.”
Blair Force One; The Times (London, UK); Feb 16, 2002.
“The word chevachee is the most apt way of describing the Mongol raiding tactics in 1211, for it is an act of plundering on a relentless and extensive scale.”
James Waterson; Defending Heaven; Pen & Sword Books; 2013.
