World Youth Day
November 10 · Level 10 · #205 of 2238
World Youth Day celebrates solidarity among young people and their involvement in public life. This November observance is associated with the World Federation of Democratic Youth, an organization established in the aftermath of the Second World War.
How it is celebrated: youth organizations hold meetings, discussions, concerts and solidarity events. Peace, access to education and opportunities to shape local communities are recurring themes.
The name can cause calendar confusion: the UN's International Youth Day falls in August, while the Catholic World Youth Day is a separate event.
