National Youth Conference 2022

Nepal Youth Council with Edusanjal as an education partner is organizing National Youth Conference 2022. The “National Youth Conference 2022” promises to make youths aware of the current scenario of opportunities in their country by addressing them in five major thematic areas; Youth for Election, Youth Entrepreneurship, Youth for SDGs, Gender Equality and Social Inclusion, Youth for ICT, and Youth for Environment and Leadership.

The National Youth Conferences in the past years have created history by providing correct guidelines to the youths, facilitating them with enough knowledge and networks, and nurturing leadership qualities in them in order to start entrepreneurship. Additionally, Nepal Youth Council has been notably practicing gender equality and sticks its importance in the mind of youths from time to time as both the parties carry an equal part in the prosperity of the nation.

 

Nepal comprises over 40 percent of youths out of their total population. This age group is the backbone of Nepal and their participation is extremely important in every aspect of our society. It is of the utmost importance that these youths be guided and led to explore their path in life and set goals for themselves with a vision for their nation.

Nevertheless, half of the youth population is either unemployed or underemployed. In recognition of the fact that they play determining roles and to bring that undeniably effective force into the mainstream of development in Nepal, the Nepal Youth Council (NYC) is proposing to host a three-day National Youth Conference 2022 from 12-14 August 2022.

Objectives

• To encourage the involvement of Nepali Youths in the decision-making process at all three levels of Government.
