The document discusses the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on youth and proposes potential solutions. It notes that while young people are less physically vulnerable, the pandemic is negatively impacting youth through job and education disruptions, mental health issues, and exacerbating inequalities. It recommends strengthening education, training in human rights, and empowering youth to help address global challenges. Potential policy responses include assessing short, medium and long term youth impacts, an inclusive recovery approach, and recognizing youth's role in crisis response and building resilient societies.

2. Youth

3. Facts
• Current evidence suggests that young people are less at-risk in
terms of developing severe physical health symptoms linked to
COVID-19 than older age

4. Introduction
• The world's youth population aged 15-24 will grow to
nearly 1.3 billion by 2030.
• That young generations are too often confronted with a
range of challenges including poverty, socio-economic and
political exclusion.

5. • The COVID-19 pandemic and the related exceptional measures'
negative effects on the economy and employment are likely to have a
severe impact on young people, especially youth from disadvantaged
backgrounds

6. • Many countries are confronted with the closure of educational
institutions, from nursery school to university, and this disruption in
access to education is likely to exacerbate the inadequacy of skillsets
and the educational gap, including unequal access to distance
learning among young people

7. Secondary Impacts of the COVID-19
• Mental health and physical health
• Employment and income
• Education
• Family and friends relationships
• Limitations on freedom
• Human rights and future prospects,
• Gender inequality
• Sexual gender-based and domestic violence,

8. Solutions (??????????????????)
• Strengthened global education,
• Development education and awareness raising (DEAR)
• Training, youth work activities and awareness-raising in human rights,
• Good governance
• Support young people's active engagement in responding to global
challenges and efforts to build democratic, peaceful, inclusive,
equitable, tolerant, secure and sustainable societies across the world;
BUT…..

9. Policy
• An assessment of the immediate, medium and long-term effects of
the COVID-19 pandemic on young people and vulnerable groups;
• Elements for an integrated public governance approach for a fair and
inclusive recovery and resilience;
• The role of young people as catalysts of inclusive and resilient
societies in crisis response, recovery, and in preparation of future
shocks.

11. How can we volunteer

13. Altruism
Use of time money and effort to make this world a better place
to live

14. Altruism
Acting in the best interest of others rather than in one’s own self-interest.
Some people believe altruism constitutes the essence of morality.
People’s moral judgments are often driven by emotion.
Empathy for others seems to encourage altruism. Another emotion,
called “elevation,” appears to inspire altruistic behavior, too.
We feel elevation when we see another person act virtuously, such as
by helping someone in need.

15. Altruism
Altruism also builds social connections. For example, studies show
that people who are altruistic tend to be happier, to be healthier, and to
live longer.
So, while altruism leads us to do what’s best for others, it also makes
us feel good in the process.
