Si è svolto martedì 18 luglio l’incontro con il Presidente della SIOI, Franco Frattini, che ha accolto i due giovani nella sede della SIOI per un meeting sul loro mandato, sulle questioni più attuali dell’agenda internazionale e sulle modalità di lavoro dell’Assemblea Generale ONU. Il Presidente si è complimentato con i due ragazzi per il loro background di studi e li ha esortati a continuare nella loro formazione, elemento fondamentale per avere successo nella vita e nella carriera. 
Nella mattinata di Mercoledì 19 luglio, Giuseppina e Tommaso sono stati accolti in Farnesina dalla Direttrice centrale per le Nazioni Unite e i Diritti Umani del MAECI, Min. Plen. Francesca Tardioli. La Min. ha dato il benvenuto ai due ragazzi illustrando le priorità dell’Italia in qualità di Membro non permanente del Consiglio di Sicurezza e il ruolo della nostra Rappresentanza a New York. L’incontro è stata l’occasione per definire l’impegno dei “Delegati giovanili” in vista della loro partecipazione alla 72ma Assemblea Generale ONU e Terza Commissione. 

E’ stato lanciato sui canali social dei “Delegati Giovanili” italiani alle Nazioni Unite il questionario “UNYDP Italy: dicci la tua!”, il primo esperimento per conoscere quali sono le priorità dei giovani italiani e il loro livello di conoscenza del sistema ONU. 
Il form è rivolto a tutti i giovani italiani tra i 15 e 18 anni ed è disponibile al link qui sotto:

WHAT IS UNYDP? 

UNA Italy, in cooperation with the Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, promotes and organizes the United Nations Youth Delegate Programme for Italian students (UNYDP Italy).

Youth Delegates (YDs) are young people who officially represent the interests of the youth of their country at the United Nations. They are selected to accompany their government’s diplomatic delegation to the UN meetings. 2017 is a crucial year for the Italian leading role in multilateral relations: Italy is serving first as non-permanent member of the UNSC and will hold the rotating presidency in November; on May 26–27 in Taormina was held the 43rd G7 summit under the Italian presidency; Italy will also be a part in the troika of OSCE in view of being the chair in 2018.

Including UNA-UNYA Youth Delegates in the Italian government delegation to the 72nd United Nations General Assembly represents a unique opportunity for Italian young students interested in global affairs and decision-making.

The underlying principle of youth participation in the work of the United Nations is that it leads to better policy and programmatic responses to the problems facing young people today. The United Nations recognizes that young people around the world are both a major human resource for development and key agents for social change, economic development and technological innovation. The inclusion of young people in official delegations to intergovernmental meetings not only enriches the debate and policy dialogue, but also strengthens existing channels of communication and cooperation between Governments and young people. Moreover, upon return to their home countries, youth delegates often promote continued progress in the development and implementation of youth policies at the national level and encourage other young people to participate more fully in the development of their communities and nations. 
Including UNA-UNYA Youth Delegates in the Italian government delegation to the United Nations General Assembly will make Italy one of the successful cases of implementation of the United Nations Youth Delegate Programme, and will confirm the Italian full commitment to the work of the United Nations, not only as a 60 years long Member States, as re-elected member of ECOSOC and as non-permanent member to the United Nations Security Council, but also as a promoter of youth at UN level.
