When was IYD first celebrated ?

The first IYD was observed on 12 August, 2000

According to United Nations General Assembly , On December 17, 1999, in its resolution, the United Nations General Assembly endorsed the recommendation made by the World Conference of Ministers Responsible for Youth that 12th August be declared International Youth Day.

Recognizing that many young are essential workers or volunteering to support their community during COVID-19 pandemic, World Health Organisation (WHO) on the occasion said, “On the 12th of August, WHO and UNESCO celebrate International Youth Day and would like to recognize young people around the world demonstrating their resilience, collective action, and creativity in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic.”
