Peaceday 2021 – Intergenerational Assembly
21 September, 2021
Join us as we connect youth across the planet.
The Peaceday Youth Alliance is a growing coalition of people and organisations,
collaborating across borders and generations, with a shared purpose to empower youth
to voice their opinions, and take concrete actions towards creating a world that works for all.
Once a year – in connection with UN’s International Day of Peace – we organise a global event on YOUTH ISLAND – a former sea fortress located a short sailing trip from the UN-City in Copenhagen.
On September 19, 2020, members of the Global Youth Assembly, drawn from almost 100 cities worldwide, gathered together on the occasion of the 75th Anniversary of the United Nations, to discuss imminent and impending global issues. A delegation of youth representatives sailed from Youth Island to the UN City in Copenhagen on a Viking Ship, to hand over the conclusions from the Global Youth Assembly to the world leaders.
This year on september 21, 2021 delegates, partners and supporters of the Global Youth Assembly will reunite. During a 24 hours program we will catalyse cross-generational conversations between youth groups and global decision-makers on the most pressing topics of our world. The objective is to call for constructive action, bringing the values, imagination and problem solving skills of the next generation to the table.
