Happy International Youth Day to all fellow cooperators!

With this year’s theme, “From Clicks to Progress: Youth Digital Pathways for Sustainable Development”, the ICA-AP Committee on Youth Cooperation (ICYC) urges and encourages youth from across the globe to foster digitalization and inclusivity, contributing to the acceleration of sustainable development goals.

Youth play a vital role in sustainability and continued development, not only in cooperatives but also in society. On this momentous day, we should unite to signify our passion and commitment towards solidarity, digitalization, and transformation. We must embody the change and development that our society needs.

We support the United Nations' call for enhancing digital inclusion and promoting digital innovation. Let the youth be significant players in bringing solutions and developments, utilizing our digital skills to address social and global concerns.

With access to digital technology, we can collaborate and network with people from across the globe, creating ideas and solutions to achieve our visions and goals.

In these challenging times, we must also devote our time to continue praying for the victims of global wars and conflicts. Let us inspire and aspire for peace and stability among nations.

Together, let us empower our fellow youth and celebrate International Youth Day!
