"The yoUNg"
Written by Marc NIESSEN 11-06-2009The European Youth Forum, with the support of the three Belgian youth councils, presents "The yoUNg", a documentary film on youth participation at the United Nations.
The Charter of the United Nations advanced the ideals of world peace and mutual understanding after the dramatic events of the II World War. Young people and youth organisations were considered a major force for this change, as witnessed by several official documents and resolutions adopted since the creation of the United Nations.
“The YoUNg” reviews this little known history of youth at the United Nations and explores different ways of approaching youth participation at the UN nowadays.
