#SeatAtheTable is a campaign by UNITE 2030, it is a roundtable discussion where youths from all over the world come together in one place to discuss the global issues we are passionate about. Today, the campaign is officially launched! The campaign is also leading up to Camp 2030 which is happening in New York, the USA between 12 September 2022 and 18 September 2022.
How do you define Youth? Well, in my definition of youth, it's all about taking action, full of passion and energy to get our voices heard to the world! We are not inexperienced or rebellious - as most people describe youths, we just need a place to speak up and that is it.
Sakina is the regional focal point for Central Asia 2 and is the moderator for the day. She asks each of the panellists on board how they take small actions to change their communities. Shristi from India, the founder of Sky Social - focusing on gender equality in India; Thiri from Myanmar, an advocate for public health as well as other panellists who are focusing on education, climate actions, poverty and so on.
Please don't look down on the power of social media, it can change everything. Just like Tata, whose community is lacking water and with the power of social media, he is able to raise awareness on the issue.
Before we come to a close, each of the panellists gives us advice on how can we make a change. It doesn't matter big or small, as long as we have the power to make that change, it's all about taking the first step. We take a group picture to commemorate this special day. For the next two weeks, there will tons of activities for you as youths to join the campaign. We want to hear from you! Submit your youth stories, who knows you might be the lucky one to get your video featured?
