The Sustainable Development Goals—officially known as "Transforming our World: The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development"—are an intergovernmental set of 17 aspirational goals and 169 targets that now apply to all countries. SDG 4 (quality education) and SDG 8 (decent work and economic growth) seek to address primary concerns of youth. Elsewhere, it stands to reason that engaging, energizing, and empowering youth can make them integral part of the solutions we all need.

Happy Schools: A UNESCO Framework for Learner Well-Being in the Asia-Pacifichappy_schools_project
Presenter: Ramya Vivekanandan
Position: Programme Specialist
Organization: UNESCO Bangkok
Country: Thailand
Abstract:
In view of the challenges students face in today’s competitive, stress-fueled, and test-focused world, the theme of happiness has come to the forefront of the global policy agenda, having been recently recognized in the United Nations General Assembly 2011 Resolution as a ‘fundamental human goal’ and in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as related to the quality of education and well-being. The importance of happiness in schools has also attracted global attention as global indices such as the Better Life Index and international assessments including PISA aim to measure the linkages between learner happiness and the quality of education.
As such, UNESCO Bangkok launched the Happy Schools Project to find out what makes for a happy school based on the voices of students, teachers, parents and others at the heart of the school community. Research was conducted from June 2014 to November 2015 with the aim of understanding what factors describe a happy school and to identify qualitative variables on school happiness that could potentially be measured. The research methods included a desk study, a workshop with schools from ASEAN member countries, a survey, and a seminar.
The main outcome of the study is the Happy Schools Framework, which consists of 22 criteria for a happy school, grouped into three broad categories of People, Process and Place, as well as strategies for achieving these criteria in schools. The Happy Schools Framework calls for education systems to shift away from traditional measures and to instead embrace diversity of talents and intelligence by recognizing values, strengths and competencies that contribute to enhancing happiness. Informed greatly by positive psychology, this new UNESCO Framework will be shared during this presentation.

42 257 представителей поколения «миллениалов» смогли высказать свое мнение об образовании, трудоустройстве и предпринимательстве в рамках опроса, проведенного AIESEC в партнерстве с PwC и при поддержке Кампании тысячелетия Организации Объединенных Наций, MY World и посланника Генерального секретаря ООН по делам молодежи.
Согласно отчету YouthSpeak, поколение «миллениалов» все больше волнует увеличивающийся разрыв между профессиональным образованием и трудоустройством. Университеты не озабочены тем, смогут ли представители поколения «миллениалов» достичь своих целей в будущем, а работодатели не стремятся поддерживать с ними контакты, способствующие их будущему трудоустройству. Поэтому преподаватели и работодатели, которые, в отличие от большинства, поддерживают тесные связи с поколением «миллениалов», выделяются на фоне остальных в погоне за молодыми и жизненно необходимыми компаниям квалифицированными специалистами.
Green Templeton College, University of Oxford, 2016: Emerging market populations have never been younger and may never be larger.
Over one billion young people (aged between 10 and 24) live in Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Russia, South Africa, Turkey and smaller emerging markets. India has over 700 million and China more than 500 million people under 30. This offers huge potential to harness their energy and creativity by engaging them in productive activities.
Participants in the symposium on Young People and the Future of Emerging Markets concluded that governments’ failure to understand the mind sets of young people, master intergenerational communications and take measures to preserve the planet for future generations is extremely short sighted.
The Emerging Markets Symposium brought together over 50 international experts and graduate students from 20 emerging market and high income countries. Hosted by Green Templeton College on 7-10 January, the symposium was designed to ensure its conclusions were grounded in the insights and priorities of young people.

The Global Compact, Human Rights, and Nike, Inc.Olivier Serrat
Focusing on human rights, this presentation uses a critical psychology lens to articulate the business case for an action plan to imbed the Global Compact in the strategies and operations of Nike, Inc., with an eye to engaging its contract factories. The action plan integrates best practices proposed by the Global Compact. Because of their ambitious scope, critical psychology approaches often suffer from lack of opportunity for practical applications. Notwithstanding, this presentation highlights the theory's undoubted usefulness in the context of the Global Compact.
Minority Population Analysis: The Aeta of the PhilippinesOlivier Serrat
This presentation uses a critical psychology lens for minority population analysis. Specifically, the presentation characterizes indigenous peoples and their vulnerability; researches the treatment of the Aeta, an indigenous people living in the mountainous areas of Luzon in the Philippines; and reflects on their experience of domination, marginalization, and exploitation.
Reflections on a Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire 360 Leader's ReportOlivier Serrat
The Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire generates a psychological inventory from propositions that aim to assess leadership styles and leadership outcomes: it is a multi-rater (or 360-degree) instrument, which means that its output—the MLQ 360 Leader's Report—interprets and compares a leader's self-assessment with ratings contributed across the same items by associates. This presentation reflects on a Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire exercise conducted in May 2020.
Ethics at the Movies: Erin Brockovich (2000)Olivier Serrat
Referring to Erin Brockovich (2000), a biographical film featuring Julia Roberts, this presentation reviews the respective contributions that stakeholder analysis, conflict of interest analysis, cost–benefit analysis, case study analysis, and ethical decision-making frameworks can make to the exploration of business ethics.
This presentation maps out Gandhi's life story; singles out the life-markers that encouraged a constant process of reflection–action–reflection and framed his values; and proposes that stewardship, obligation, partnership, emotional healing, and elevating purpose characterized his servant leadership. Gandhi took on an empire with the ethics of truth-telling: his story is timeless in its courage and inspiration and lessons from his contributions to ethical behavior and strong influence on social responsibility are not wanting.
This presentation outlines a business proposal for idealized design of virtual teaming at General Electric, a multinational conglomerate that employs more than 313,000 employees around the world and so faces the challenge of synergizing a dispersed workforce.

This presentation provides an up-close examination of MediSys Corp. and its contextual conditions and tables recommendations to resolve the problems affecting the IntensCare project and safeguard MediSys Corp.'s future.
Independent Evaluation for Learning: Toward Systemic ChangeOlivier Serrat
At the request of shareholders, evaluation studies focus on accountability (and hence provide for command, control, and finger-pointing); they do not serve as an important foundation of learning organizations.
Knowledge must be at the center of everything the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development does and knowledge is most valuable when it is actually used—not just identified, created, stored, or shared. A hypothetical diagnosis of ICIMOD's purpose, structure, relationships, rewards, leadership, and helpful mechanisms combined with an organizational culture assessment suggested that a "preferred" culture of adhocracy might drive higher effectiveness.
Designing an Effective Knowledge Partnership ProcessOlivier Serrat
Knowledge partnerships are about joint purpose in the identification, creation, storage, sharing, and use of knowledge; sadly, the state of the art in creating, managing, monitoring, and evaluating them remains immature.

Youth and the Global Goals
Olivier Serrat
2016
2. Young People Today
The world is home to the largest group of 10 to 24-year-olds in history: they number
1.8 billion and 90% of them live in developing countries. India has over 350 million such
youth, more than the total population of the United States (324 million).
More than 500 million youth aged 15–24 live on less than $2 a day.
Young people aged 15–24 are three times more likely than older segments of
the population to be unemployed. Some 75 million youth aged 15–24 are
currently unemployed. More than 600 million jobs must be generated by 2030.
About 69 million adolescents of lower secondary school age are out of school.
Some 1.5 billion persons, the majority of them under the age of 30,
live in conflict or fragile situations. In developing countries, one in
three girls is married before her 18th birthday. Across the world, more
than half of all sexual assaults are inflicted on girls younger than 16.
Young people are under-represented in decision-making processes: less
than 2% of parliamentarians are in their 20s; only 12% are in their 30s.

4. My World 2015
From January–May 2014, the Office
of the UN Secretary-General's Envoy
on Youth convened a team from
youth-led organizations and United
Nations entities to flesh out concrete
proposals for target areas on youth in
the post-2015 development agenda.
The Global Youth Call: "Prioritizing
Youth in the Post-2015 Development
Agenda" issued on 3 June 2014 was
based on the top five thematic
priorities of over 1.3 million young
people who voted in the My World
2015 survey out of a total 2.1 million
respondents.
Education
Employment and
Entrepreneurship
Health
Governance and
Participation
Peace and Personal
Security
Youth Priorities
5. Transforming Our World:
Statements on Youth
• Unemployment,
particularly YOUTH
unemployment, is a major
concern. (Para. 14)
Our
World
Today
Youth unemployment is caused by the state of the economy; the
structure of the labor market; lack of relevant skills; insufficient
experience; unawareness of job vacancies; constrained opportunities,
e.g., health, location; stigma and discrimination, e.g., age, ethnicity,
gender; and reactive approaches to gaining employment.
6. Transforming Our World:
Statements on Youth
The New Agenda
• Those whose needs are reflected in the Agenda include all children, YOUTH,
persons with disabilities (of whom more than 80% live in poverty), people living
with HIV/AIDS, older persons, indigenous peoples, refugees, and internally
displaced persons and migrants. (Para. 23)
• All people, irrespective of sex, age, race, or ethnicity, and persons with disabilities,
migrants, indigenous peoples, children, and YOUTH, especially those in vulnerable
situations, should have access to life-long learning opportunities that help them to
acquire the knowledge and skills needed to exploit opportunities and to
participate fully in society. (Para. 25)
• We will strive to provide children and YOUTH with a nurturing environment for the
full realization of their rights and capabilities, helping our countries to reap the
demographic dividend, including through safe schools and cohesive communities
and families. (Para. 25)
• We will work to build dynamic, sustainable, innovative and people-centered
economies, promoting YOUTH employment and women's economic
empowerment, in particular, and decent work for all. (Para. 27)
8. "Youth" in the Sustainable
Development Goals
Quality Education—Ensure inclusive
and equitable quality education and
promote lifelong learning opportunities
for all (SDG 4)
• By 2030, substantially increase the number
of YOUTH and adults who have relevant
skills, including technical and vocational
skills, for employment, decent jobs, and
entrepreneurship (Target 4.4)
• By 2030, ensure that all YOUTH and a
substantial proportion of adults, both men
and women, achieve literacy and
numeracy (Target 4.6)
Decent Work and Economic Growth—
Promote sustained, inclusive, and
sustainable economic growth, full and
productive employment, and decent
work for all (SDG 8)
• By 2020, substantially reduce the
proportion of YOUTH not in employment,
education, or training (Target 8.6)
• By 2020, develop and operationalize a
global strategy for YOUTH employment
and implement the Global Jobs Pact of the
International Labor Organization (Target
8.10.b)
Climate Action—Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts (SDG 13)
• Promote mechanisms for raising capacity for effective climate change-related planning and
management in least developed countries and small island developing States, including focusing
on women, YOUTH, and local and marginalized communities (Target 13.3.b)
9. "Youth" in the Sustainable
Development Goals
Target 4.4 • Percentage of youth/adults with information and
communications technology skills by type of skill
Target 4.6
• Percentage of population in a given age group achieving
at least a fixed level of proficiency in functional (a)
literacy and (b) numeracy skills.
Target 8.6 • Percentage of youth (aged 15-24) not in education,
employment, or training
Target 8.10.b
• Total government spending in social protection and
employment programs as a percentage of the national
budgets and GDP
Target 13.3.b
• Number of least developed countries and small island
developing States that are receiving specialized support
for mechanisms for raising capacities for effective climate
change-related planning and management, including
focusing on women, youth, local, and marginalized
communities
10. YouthSpeak, a global youth insight survey powered by AIESEC (the
world's largest youth-run organization), has captured 170, 000+
responses from young people in over 100 countries and territories so
far. The results confound stereotypes:
• When asked about their top motivators, Millennials listed family,
purpose in life, and friends—in that order. (These are more
important than, say, financial success, recognition, and personal
achievement.)
• A majority (82%) of Millennials is willing to volunteer time and
energy on purposeful projects abroad but many (52%) claimed that
lack of resources is a main obstacle to doing so.
• Regarding the SDGs, a majority (55%) of Millennials confessed lack
of awareness but most want to contribute to their accomplishment
with a preference for SDG 4 (quality education), SDG 1 (no poverty),
and SDG 3 (good health and well-being)—in that order. Surprisingly,
they showed least interest in SDG 17 (partnerships for the goals).
Millennials are the SDGen!
11. #Youth4SDG
Youth are both beneficiaries of the SDGs and crucial enablers of them.
They must serve as change makers, communicators, critical thinkers,
innovators, and leaders because the "youth bulge" implies they have a
large stake in the present and future of the world. For that, they need
recognition and the space to translate Agenda 2030 at local, national,
regional, and global levels.
How might
youth
contribute to
the
achievement
of the SDGs?
• Engaging with youth is no longer an option: the
"Millennials" are a growing constituency that pushes
an increasingly coherent agenda. The newly adopted
SDGs are an unprecedented opportunity: they
acknowledge youth, address issues that are of
particular concern to young people, and invite
updated approaches to youth engagement. How
might the energy, creativity, and skills of
"Millennials" be leveraged to co-create positive
change?
12. The Kampala Principles on Youth-
Led Development
• Youth define their own development goals and objectives;
• Youth have a social and physical space to participate in
development and to be regularly consulted;
• Adult mentorship and peer-to-peer mentorships are encouraged;
• Youth act as role models to help other youth engage in
development; and
• Youth are integrated into all local and national development
programs and frameworks.
Youth-led development draws on the energy, creativity, and skills of
young people to create positive change at both small and large scale. It
values young people as an asset of society, endowed with individual and
group talents and strengths. The Kampala Principles on Youth-Led
Development of UN-Habitat are that:
Note: To participate is to work with people, not work for them. Participation is the
active, informed, and voluntary involvement of persons in information sharing,
consulting, decision making, and taking action.
13. The Ambit of Youth-Led
Development
• Policy—Youth are integral to policy planning, taking
part in policy design, decisions, monitoring, and
accountability processes.
• Advocacy and Campaigning—Youth advocate and
campaign and collaborate with nongovernment and
civil society organizations to make their voices heard
and influence policy.
• Programming, Implementing, Monitoring, and
Evaluating—Youth participate actively across the
project cycle of programs that promote development
and social transformation, contributing knowhow,
skills, and ideas.
• Communication and Research—Youth search for
answers and solutions, for instance by means of
investigative journalism or action research, to better
understand development issues and explain them to
their peers and society at large.
Four places to
start, not
blueprints;
youth-led
development
can connect
to:
14. Enabling Youth Policy
Youth are a foundation of development effectiveness. If they are engaged,
youth will help tackle the worldwide challenges we all face and link policy to
practice. A commitment to remedying the injustice of ignoring youth in
development and promoting #Youth4SDG will yield fruits: this commitment is
best evidenced by organizational development.
Organizational development is the improvement of structures, systems, and
processes by dint of reflection and learning (and of course negotiating).
To best work with youth externally, organizations
must work with them internally. This means
bringing youth into the organization and its core
networks as volunteers, interns, and staff;
collaborating with them and youth networks to
make subtle adjustments to working culture; and
ensuring their representation on decision-making
bodies with guidance and training as necessary.
