UNITING A GENERATION OF YOUNG LEADERS WHO AREN’T

AFRAID TO SPEAK UP AND TAKE ACTION ON THINGS THAT MATTER

YouthSpeak is a global youthmovement and youth insight surveypowered by AIESEC.We are focused on understanding the hopesand challenges surrounding various issues which involve youngpeople like us.

Over 100 countries and territories, 42 000 voices were captured in the 2015

comprehensive survey to engage stakeholders across government, business,

third sector and education. This year, we are striving to achieve 100 000

responses from young people globally to provide decision makers with their

opinion on how they envision the world in 2030 and what are the issues that they

are ready to act upon today to make this future brighter.

In September 2015, the United Nations adopted the new global

agenda for sustainable development in New York City and

representatives of AIESEC International were there. The UN members

states, governments, business, experts and leaders committed to

address 17 global goals in the next 15 years for a better world. To

make this world a reality, we also need young people.

YouthSpeak Survey, run by AIESEC, is a global youth

insight survey by youth for youth. It aims to gather youth

perspective about present and their vision for the future,

because the future depends on what we do today.

The sustainable development goals (SDGs or global goals) are a new, universal set of goals,

targets and indicators that United Nations member states will use to frame their agendas and

political policies for the next 15 years. The SDGs follow, and expand on, the millennium

development goals (MDGs), which were agreed by governments in 2000, and are due to

expire at the end of this year.
