Document 211 EX/9 (Summary) outlines the evolution and scope of UNESCO’s work on meaningful youth engagement and presents an updated concept of the 12th UNESCO Youth Forum as a more relevant and impact-oriented format in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. The document sets out the Forum’s key objectives, including discussion of young people’s current needs, the development of recommendations and elements of the “Action by Youth and for Youth” plan in the post-COVID period, as well as the design of a grant mechanism to support youth-led initiatives and tools for sustained engagement.
