YOUTH NATIONAL RUN TVC

The United Nations’ (UN) International Youth Day is celebrated on August 12 each year to recognize efforts of the world’s youth in enhancing global society. It also aims to promote ways to engage them in becoming more actively involved in making positive contributions to their communities.
Over the last two Years, YEC with partners have convened Youth led Runs in commemoration of the international Youth Day one focusing on Youth as peace Builders and Creating safe spaces for Youth respectively. These Runs have provided an exceptional platform for discussion of pertinent issues that are affecting the country’s Youth by examining why the youth are drivers of sustainable Development.
This year’s Run scheduled for Saturday August 10, 2019 at Makerere University Freedom Square starting from 6:00 am to 1:00 PM under the theme “Transforming Education”, will spotlight how investing in Sexual Reproductive Health of Young people can transform the Education sector to achieve the Demographic Dividend. The Run is expected to bring together more than 5000 young people, pupils, students, youth serving organizations and other state and non-state actors for a charity cause. The First Lady of the Republic of Uganda and Minister for Education and Sports Hon. Janet Kataha Museveni is expected to be our chief runner for the day whilst the Minister for Health Dr. Jane Ruth Aceng will provide a key note address at the event.
