As we near the final years of the UN 2030 Agenda for sustainable development, UNESCO and the SDG 4 High-Level Steering Committee are launching a global consultation to shape the education agenda beyond 2030.

Youth will lead the way, just as they did for the Transforming Education Summit. Through UNESCO’s youth-led consultations, they will define the Post-2030 Youth Agenda for Education.

Because the future must be shaped with youth—and led by youth.
