Entrepreneurs, inventors, environmentalists, womens rights advocates, health campaigners and political activists are just some of the diverse nominees we have had in the past. What they all have in common is their creative ideas, passion for their community and a commitment to excellence and to making a difference in their communities and the world at large. This award gives them a global platform to promote their innovations, and some funding to help them scale up their development projects,he stated.
This year, the Youth Awards take place during the same week as International Youth Day the UNs annual celebration of the role of young people in creating positive change across the world. The theme of the Day is Safe Spaces for Youth. It focuses on protecting young peoples dignity and safety and helping them to make valuable contributions to development work, particularly in relation to the internationally agreed Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
