This year’s International Youth Day theme—“Local Youth Actions for the SDGs and Beyond”—challenges us to move beyond broad promises and focus on tangible, community-rooted impact. It reminds us that meaningful change doesn’t always begin on a global stage; often, it starts in our neighborhoods, schools, and local spaces.
With Still for a Sec, we’re not just encouraging introspection—we’re inviting young people to connect with an SDG that resonates personally and take thoughtful, localized action. It’s about transforming inner awareness into outward impact—shaping a future that’s not only sustainable, but deeply soulful.
We encourage youth to take small, daily moments of reflection: to align with their inner light, allow clarity to emerge, and let that clarity guide purposeful, mindful action. These seemingly simple shifts can ripple into meaningful change across communities—anchored in authenticity, not just achievement.
We’re excited for your participation and hope Still for a Sec offers as much insight and inspiration to you as it has for us.
We are thrilled to say that the lead advocate for the campaign is renowned activist Jaha Dukureh, Regional UN Women Ambassador for Africa.
