On the International Day of Democracy, we celebrate the essential role of young people in renewing and strengthening democracy worldwide.
As Kofi Annan reminded us: “You are never too young to lead, and you should never doubt your capacity to triumph where others have not.”
Today, young people are proving that democracy can be reimagined, revitalised, and defended — from grassroots organising to political leadership and human rights advocacy. Through our programmes and initiatives, the Kofi Annan Foundation supports the next generation of democratic leaders.
