Demyc would like to address today a special word for all young people in the five continents.

Today, it is not only the "International Youth Day" promoted by the UN but also the beggining of the "International Youth Year" under the theme "Dialogue and Mutual Understanding". In December 2009, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution proclaiming the Year commencing on this International Youth Day (12 August 2010) as the International Year of Youth. As the slogan suggests, the value of dialogue of different cultures and generations is the reason behind the choice of theme this year. Under the logo "Our year, our voice" the youth worldwide will have the perfect chance to promote ideas and to intercommunicate.

This day is an opportunity for governments and authorities to draw attention to the youth issues. For this reason we invite all of you to join us celebrating and showing how aware our generation is of our rights, obligations, and equaly importantly, of our responsability as citizens today and tomorrow.

A great youth year to all.
