NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - Feb 17, 2016) - AIESEC International together with PVBLIC Foundation announced their commitment to raise awareness about how young people can come together to solve world's biggest problems uniting around the Sustainable Development Goals. Youth for Global Goals #Youth4GG was officially launched at the Global Leaders Summit in Morocco at which 130 countries were represented by the national presidents of the organization.
In December, AIESEC hosted the Youth Action Summit together with the UN Secretary General's Envoy on Youth's office at the United Nations in NY, presenting their organizational support towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to the Deputy Secretary General Jan Eliasson.
AIESEC together with their media partner PVBLIC Foundation has been working on a campaign to create awareness and actions for young people around the world to fulfill the declaration made to the United Nations in December.
As part of PVBLIC's Most Important Campaign for the SDGs -- PVBLIC partnered with AIESEC to reach youth around the world. Eliane Sussman, Director of Strategic Alliances at PVBLIC stated that "Because we believe that Youth is a solution to make this world a better place, we decided to support the efforts of the largest youth lead organization -- AIESEC -- uniting young people in making the SDGs a reality."
"We aim to raise awareness about the SDGs through the YouthSpeak Survey and ask important questions about what young people care about and how do they see the world changing over the next 15 years," said Ana Saldarriaga, President of AIESEC International. Youth will be provided with the activation platform: Youth for Global Goals, a collaborative effort to create positive impact on the ground. The outcome of the survey will provide input for young people to create volunteering and social impact projects that impact communities and solve the world's problems.
Founding partners of the global campaign are AIESEC International, PVBLIC Foundation, Kinetic, Mekanism, UN Habitat and ADB.
AIESEC's global partners: PwC, JCI, TATA Consultancy Services -- DHL, International SOS, Merit 360 and Al Jazeera also took part in the launch of Youth for Global Goals.
