The Changemakers Programme
The Changemakers Programme targets young people
ages 18-35 to promote youth action for transformative
learning for peace, sustainable development and global
citizenship. The programme supports trained
‘changemakers’ through online and physical spaces in
their efforts to shape, modify or transform education and
learning systems.
The Campus Ambassadors Programme
The Campus Ambassadors Programme is for young
people ages 18-24 and connects international university
campuses to create an empowered youth cohort working
on issues related to the SDGs, especially Target 4.7.
Establishing YESPeace campus societies and creating
forums for interaction are among the key activities of
this programme.
Youth-led monitoring of SDG Target 4.7
Youth-led monitoring of SDG Target 4.7 challenges young
people ages 18-35 to become game changers by tracking
progress towards the achievement of the Sustainable
Development Goals. UNESC will mobilize youth
to curate and generate data on how young people are
addressing critical issues covered in the Sustainable
Development Goals.
Youth 24x7
Youth 24x7 is a world-wide youth-led campaign on global
citizenship. In 2018, we envision a week-long campaign
including intercultural dialogues, forums, music concerts,
art shows, and seminars. The outcome will be a
declaration on education for peace, sustainable
development and global citizenship and a report
monitoring the Sustainable Development Goals.

exchanges and memorable moments with our partners
around the world.
ABOUT THE YOUTH PROGRAMME VFAFNETNG sees youth as its key partners. The
Youth Programme works with young people around the
world and mobilizes youth action from a local to a global
scale on issues of peace, sustainability and global
citizenship. We work with young people, youth
organizations and networks, civil society and Member
States to provide a channel to bring forth collective
youth voices to policy-makers. The programme not only
amplifies the voices of youth in decision-making
processes, but also enables the youth to hold
governments accountable for the implementation of the
UN’s Sustainable Development Goals of change, whose energy and skills need to be
harnessed when pursuing education for global
citizenship (EGC) leading to a more peaceful and
sustainable world.
