To spread the word about the International Year of Youth, the UN Programme on Youth is looking for a powerful 1 to 5 word slogan that encapsulates the Year and its theme, Dialogue and Mutual Understanding. From 25 January to 12 February 2010, you will have the chance to suggest a slogan for the International Year and to vote on your favourites through the “like” function. The final slogan will be selected by the UN Programme on Youth and will be used in communications for the International Year. For logistical reasons, we are unfortunately only able to accept suggestions in English. The winning slogan will, however, be translated into all official languages of the United Nations.

To suggest a slogan, visit the Facebook group "Slogan for the International Year of Youth" at:http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/profile.php?ref=profile&id=100000636643703 today!

Continue spreading the word about the International Year and the consultation on the slogan to your friends and among your networks. Follow up the website of the Year at http://social.un.org/youthyear/ for regular updates.
