International Youth Day

This year´s International Youth Day, 12 August 2010, marked the beginning of the International Year of Youth, which runs from 12 August 2010 to 11 August 2011. The Year aims to promote the ideals of peace, respect for human rights and solidarity across generations, cultures, religions and civilizations.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) opened its doors for providing information and answering questions from youth, and information booth is set up for the purpose in the Vienna International Centre (VIC), at the UN headquarters, Vienna. The IAEA has been playing an important role in providing information on the numerous peaceful uses of nuclear applications, on nuclear security and safeguards.
