The ITS Foundation is pleased to announce the launch of its 2023 Youth Ambassador Asia-Pacific Programme, co-run with UNITAR. This year the theme will be “Young Changemakers: Unleashing the Power of Social Entrepreneurship for the SDGs.”
A core emphasis this year will be on youth aligning themselves with projects that can help accelerate progress towards the SDGs after the slowdown caused by covid (which put the breaks on efforts which were already slipping behind). This will take momentum from the second SDG Summit to be held 18-19 Sept in New York by the United Nations which itself will be reacting to the latest SDG Progress Report from the Secretary General.
Seven of the 2022 graduates (pictured) are taking their graduating ideas into reality and some of them have already launched events and initiatives and started having impact. We are thoroughly looking forward to seeing another fantastic cohort go even further.
Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.
