Applications Open for Generation Unlimited Youth Challenge 2.0 – Guyana
Deadline: 8 March 2020
UNICEF and UNDP are calling for submissions to the Generation Unlimited Youth Challenge, where the young people of Guyana can develop their own solutions to real-world problems and stand the chance to win big and compete on the global stage.
The Generation Unlimited (GenU) aims to support young people in piloting their ideas with the goal of developing scalable and sustainable solutions in the areas of education, employment and civic engagement by 2030. It seeks to promote social innovations, based on the expertise of young people, government representatives, multilateral organisations, and the private sector, in the communities through creative thinking, teamwork and collaboration.
The Generation Unlimited Youth Challenge calls on young innovators to design solutions to improve education, employment and civic engagement. It aims to inspire young people with brilliant ideas, but without the resources to bring them to life.
15 Extraordinary Opportunities are open for New NGOs
The Youth Challenge will support young women and young men to identify, understand and solve challenges for them and their peers.
The most promising ideas will contribute to the success of Generation Unlimited, in order to meet the urgent needs for expanded education, training and employment opportunities for young people and provide the right skills to the rapidly increasing global population of adolescents and youngsters (between the ages of 10 to 24) which is predicted to reach 2 billion people in 2030.
GenU forms part of the United Nations’ Youth 2030 Strategy and will complement and build on existing programmes that support adolescents and young people.
