Welcome to the EMIPSEA Social Network!

The UN has launched the International Year of Youth on 12 August 2010 with the theme "Dialogue and Mutual Understanding."
In a statement issued by Heads of UN entitiies, the following are quoted as it refers directly to indigenous youth:
"... other vulnerable groups, such as indigenous youth, youth belonging to ethnic minorities, migrants, out-of-school youth, youth trapped in hazardous work and other worst forms of child labour, as well as youth with disabilities deserve our particular attention. Actions should be strengthened at all levels to better respond to their needs as well as to remove barriers to their access to and active participation in education, training and employment, with the aim of ensuring that all youth become engaged citizens and productive contributors to society."
