Young people today live in a world of unlimited potential. A world of mass connectivity, enhanced mobility and unprecedented technological progress. With education, skills and opportunities that are relevant to their lives and future employment, more than 1.8 billion young men and women will be poised to make the most of their potential and contribute to the peace and prosperity of their families and communities.

UNICEF’s Executive Director, Henrietta H. Fore, will share more on why the public and private sectors must work more closely than ever to ensure today’s generation really are unlimited.
