#ForgeYourFuture is a storytelling campaign aiming at collecting real-life stories, dreams, ideas and initiatives from young people (between the ages of 18 and 29) in the world’s 46 Least Developed Countries. From the young storytellers that engage with the hashtag #ForgeYourFuture, 46 young people (one from each LDC) will be selected to come to Doha, Qatar, and take part in the youth programme of LDC5 - the 5th United Nations Conference on the Least Developed Countries – taking place in January 2022.
This is a great opportunity for young people in the world’s most vulnerable countries to take part in a historical process, shaping the decisions that will have an impact in their future. At LDC5, world leaders will adopt the next decade’s action plan to ensure the Least Developed Countries are not left behind in the race to achieve the Sustainable Developing Goals.
Young people are asked to tag UN-OHRLLS and the hashtag #ForgeYourFuture, engaging with the posts promoted and sharing various multimedia products (photos, videos, audio, songs, poems and poetry, memes, whatever they like to use to express themselves) telling their stories and sharing ideas.
Should you have any question, please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Nicholas Ceolin at nicholas.ceolin@un.org.
The deadline for young people to engage is 22 November 2021.
