Voices of Youth “Future We Want” Video Campaign
In partnership with the Atlanta Mayor's Office of International Affairs (MOIA), RCE Greater Atlanta, and the United Nations Association of Atlanta, we celebrate the Youth 2030 Voices of Youth Initiative, UN75, and all initiatives that provide an outlet for young leaders to mobilize and inspire action to improve their communities and realize their goals.
The Future We Want Video Campaign convened students virtually from across Atlanta and Georgia to share their hopes and aspirations for a better future. As we mark the 75th anniversary of the United Nations amidst unprecedented times, it is important that we continue to recognize young people’s agency, resiliency, and their positive contributions as agents of change. We are proud of the students and young people who shared their voices and participated in this video campaign.
