Because ✨  opportunities create dreams — and dreams create positive change.

📡 Also, for a government, appointing a Youth Delegate is about asking itself a question.

It means recognizing the importance of an idea still too often seen as vague: that young people are, in their own way, capable of contributing to international affairs — whether 🌐 cultural, 🧩 social, or 🗳️ political.

As young people, we are convinced that we can support our governments, especially in areas where they may lack capacity due to the constant diplomatic and national urgencies they must navigate. ⏳

💡 We can help spark social, technological, cultural, and educational innovation.

🤝 We can build multilateral social ties that lead to new partnerships — in trade, academia, or beyond.

🌱 We can launch global initiatives grounded in bodily understandings — that peace 🕊️, listening 👂, and justice ⚖️ can carry living beings far, together.

🌟 WHAT IS A UNYD?

A UN Youth Delegate (UNYD) is a young person appointed for one year by their government — or a regional organization — to represent youth voices in international diplomacy.

A UNYD is not appointed for a one-time event — it is a long-term commitment, often made in collaboration with national youth organizations.

✨ So many countries still don’t have one.

And as the UN has taught us: change becomes real when we build it together.

🎯 OUR GOAL?

To ensure every country recognizes the importance of youth voices — and empowers young people to engage in international diplomacy on their behalf, starting at a younger age.

By asking themselves the powerful, stake-filled question:
“Who would be my Youth Delegate for Multilateralism if I had to have one? Because I do need to have one.”

So that, together, young people can push their governments toward better, more inclusive, forward-thinking, and ambitious policymaking — nourished by their own lived realities.

💡 WHY THIS MATTERS:

✨ Opportunities = Dreams
🏛️ For governments: Choosing = Recognizing the importance
🧩 Dreamers who act = Future changemakers
🙂 Youth voices recognized = Youth ideas taken seriously

❓ Questions That Remain to Be Answered:
How do we address the financial hurdles tied to the cost of being a Youth Delegate?

1.   Solidarity Fund:

What if we created a dedicated fund to ensure no young person is excluded from global participation due to limited country budget? Or better yet — what if we activated existing ones like the Joint SDG Fund or regional mechanisms?

2.  🔄  Or shift the mindset entirely:

How do we reduce costs while enriching the experience?

Network Support?
Travel doesn’t have to mean expensive hotels. Youth already host each other — we’ve always done that. Let’s acknowledge that solidarity already works. Let’s make it part of how we design diplomacy.
