“We’re doing this to get youth in the community involved and to raise their awareness of their human rights,” said Ms. Emma Ashton, the Executive Director for Youth for Human Rights Florida. “We aim to create advocates for tolerance and peace. Youth are our next generation – they will be the ones creating peace in the future.”
The festival includes a bouncy house, basketball, live entertainment, temporary tattoos, carnival games and plenty of complimentary food. Guests will also be able to participate in painting rocks in the theme of human rights.
International Youth Day was established on December 17th, 1999 by the United Nations. The day is dedicated to celebrating young people’s contributions to conflict prevention and transformation as well as social justice and sustainable peace. It is celebrated to encourage youth to be constituents in ensuring the success of both peacekeeping and peace building efforts.
“We invite all to come celebrate Youth Day with us,” said Ms. Ashton. “Youth will have a lot of fun while learning important and necessary values that they will carry with them for their lives.”
