One World Week 2021: November 20th – 27th
The Global YOUth – Journey to Act!
Young people are more globally connected than ever before. From the food we eat, the clothes we wear, the music we listen to, and stories we tell, all are interconnected at personal, local, national, and global levels. This year’s One World Week theme is our global identity and how connected it is to collective action and shaping the future.
Join us throughout the week to hear from young people and youth workers on how globally connected their identity and organisations have become, through fun interactive activities, powerful stories of collective journeys, important discussion on the lives of young people, the SDGs, and taking action!

One World Week Training: The Global YOUth – Journey to Act!
Event such as the climate crisis, COVID 19 and the recent Afghanistan humanitarian crisis has once again highlighted the need for global community to act. However, do we fully understand what being part of this global community means? how do we define our global identity? And what can we do to tap into the collective action needed to act on global issues affecting people and planet today.
These are some critical questions that youth work and youth spaces need to engage with. To support these conversations, our One World Week resource this year will tackle the theme of “Global identity and Collective actions”.
