In celebration of the International Youth Day, the President of International Federation for Peace & Sustainable Development, Mrs. Sally Kader requests the pleasure of your company at our side event panel discussion on creating safe spaces for youth empowerment on August 13th, 2018 at the United Nations Headquarters in New York, NY.
Topic: S.P.A.C.E for Youth: Safe Place to Actively Collaborate and Engage for Youth
Date: August 13th, 2018
Time: 1:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m.
Location: Conference Room 8, United Nations Headquarters, NY 10017
Young people constitute the majority for the world’s population today. In 2015, a global figure of 1.2 billion aged 15-24 accounted for one in every six people worldwide. However, nearly 535 million of children are living in harsh conditions, lacking access to decent health, education and protection services. Discrimination based on religion, race, disability, age and gender, high unemployment rates and lack of opportunities are also some of the adversities that the youth need to overcome. In face of such hardship, what is much needed for youth to become activists who can change the world into a place free of hunger, inequality and violence is a safe space where their voices are heard.
Our event will feature a prominent panel of speakers including youth leaders, ambassadors, ministers and other experts in the field of youth and social development speaking from their expertise and personal experience. The speakers will shed light on effective methods to create safe spaces for youth for their empowerment through government policies.
At IFPSD, we are deeply committed to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which necessitates the empowerment and inclusion of youth in the development plan, and we hold events to celebrate the International Youth Day annually. The panel discussion aims to take a step forward towards the realization of sustainable peace, stability, human rights and effective governance, with the collective voice of youth better heard. Please join us at our event on August 13th at the United Nations.

Join Rev. Arda Itez and Rev. Dr. Jose Roman for a very special Open Heart Conversation to explore the path of Bhakti-yoga with one of its most beloved spiritual leaders and NY Times best-selling author, his holiness Radhanath Swami, with music by Jahnavi Harrison and friends.
Introduced to the West as The International Society For Krishna Consciousness in 1966 by A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, Bhakti-yoga has traceable roots to the 1st millennium, BCE. What came to be known as the “Hare Krishna Movement” developed into one of the most influential and important spiritual and social reformations in US history.
Sometimes referred to as “love for love’s sake,” Bhakti is one of the four yogic paths to enlightenment and the essence of spiritual perfection, which is to awaken ecstatic love for God.
What was it about the Bhakti tradition that inspired so many people to embrace it as their own?
Who are the Hare Krishnas?
What are the Bhakti tenets, spiritual practices and beliefs?
Discover the beauty behind one of the oldest, most well-known and often misunderstood spiritual traditions, and what led to his life of devotion directly from Radhanath Swami himself.
