The 12th of August was declared International Youth Day in 1999, following a recommendation resulting from the World Conference of Ministers Responsible for Youth, which took place in Portugal, in 1998. Since then, this day has been celebrated worldwide, highlighting the importance to implement strategies for the development of this population, which are positive and proactive, centered on their rights, open to diversity and oriented towards innovation, promoting opportunities and building aspirations.
The program to commemorate the International Youth Day, in the Algarve, is promoted by the Municipality of Faro, in partnership with the Algarve Regional Directorate of the Portuguese Institute for Sports and Youth, IP (IPDJ), the “Sê Mais Sê Melhor” Association, the CNJ (National Youth Council) and the FNAJ (National Federation of Youth Associations).
