“You are the essential part of the solution. We can work behind the scenes, but without your voices on the frontline, we won’t achieve our goals" - @SteGiannini @UNESCO speaking to youth from UN Headquarters. @AFS could not agree more. #UnitetoProtect #SDGs
Great to be at the U.N. today to speak about how we can make progress towards the #SDGs by preparing young people to be active global citizens.
