EUROPEAN YOUTH SPEAK FORUM FRAMEWORK



ABOUTTHEME

Ignite Europe: Mobilising Young People to Achievethe Sustainable Development Goals (SDG)

In September this year, the United Nations adopted the new global agendafor sustainable development in New York. The UN member states,

governments, business, experts and leaders committed to address 17

sustainable development goals in the next 15 years for a better world.

Currently, almost 50% of the world’s population is under 25 years old.Moreover, today’s generation of youth is the largest one in history. If

together we invest in them now, we are ensuring that young people arebecoming key players today and top leaders of tomorrow who can utilise the

enormous potential to make the goals happen and build a better world.

In order for them to be ready, together we need to ensure that youngpeople are aware, engaged and acting upon the sustainable

development agenda.

In the last 5 years, AIESEC mobilised over a hundred thousand young

people, who went abroad to volunteer on social impact projects andempower local communities. In the next 5 years we want to provide this

leadership experience to even more young people. Therefore, we aim to

align all the volunteer projects with the SDGs, so that each global

volunteer contributes to their achievement. And the time to start is now.

“My experience with DPDHL Group so far has being Fast & Furious . I joined the company in 2012, as a Management assistant to the CEO of DHL

Sub-Saharan Africa. Since then I have worked in three different countries, in two of them as a Senior Manager. I always felt the company is really

committed to make Africa great, by connecting the continent to the world,

and by facilitating trade in and out of its countries. My first years were full of

challenges- running through a transition from a “non-corporate mindset and organizational culture” to a “multinational corporate environment”. However,I received great coaching and support from my colleagues and managers.

Living some of the AIESEC values, such as Living Diversity and Striving for

Excellence, through concrete actions and behaviors enabled me to adapt to a new reality and “to go the extra mile” on delivering outstanding results in

all projects I was involved.”
