16 September: Youth-led Mobilization Day

Watch replay on UN Web TV

A youth-led and youth-organized Mobilization Day kickstarted the Summit proceedings on Friday, 16 September 2022. On this day young people shared their commitments and views on transforming education with decision-makers through meaningful intergenerational dialogues including with education champions and education authorities. Their collective voices were very clear: The transformation of education will not happen without the active engagement from the young people of the world, such as students, activists, and teachers.
