About Africa Youth Month
To celebrate Africa Youth Month, the African Union and various youth-led and youth-focused organizations on the African continent will organize a series of thematic activities across the month of November. These events and activities will be aligned to the ‘1million by 2021’ campaign objective which aims to create direct opportunities for one million young Africans in the areas of education, employment, entrepreneurship and engagement (4Es).
The activities will kick on Africa Youth Day, 01 November, and will include youth-led actions, conferences and meetings, dialogues and extensive social media engagement. Events will take place throughout the month of November which is celebrated as Africa Youth Month.
When the African Youth Charter was adopted through an Executive Council Decision of the Banjul Summit of 2006, the first day of November was proclaimed as ‘Africa Youth Day’. The celebration of Africa Youth Day aims to increase awareness of, commitment to and investment in youth, to increase and strengthen youth participation and partnerships, as well as increase intercultural exchanges and understanding among young people. The AUC through consultation with partners determines a theme for the Day annually.
