Young people are increasingly called upon to participate in programmes, policies and decisions that affect their lives - yet too often, engagement remains symbolic rather than meaningful. For young people in forced displacement contexts, the gap between intention and impact is even wider.This 90-minute YouthForesight webinar will explore what meaningful youth engagement looks like in practice, with a focus on moving beyond consultation toward co-creation, shared power and accountability. It will provide a platform to share the outcomes of the 2026 Gyeonggi-ILO International Labour Festa and present the Youth Call to Action emerging from it, amplifying young people’s priorities, demands, and solutions related to accessing decent work, labour rights, and inclusive labour markets. The webinar will also introduce participants to Meaningful Youth Engagement for Decent Work: A training package on engaging young people in employment programmes, a practical tool developed under the PROSPECTS Programme to support youth employment practitioners in engaging young people more systematically and meaningfully across employment programmes, with a particular focus on refugees and forcibly displaced youth.The session will spotlight practical approaches, tools and real-world examples that enable young people - especially those facing displacement - to meaningfully shape programmes and decisions related to decent work and social justice.

The World Day of Social Justice, observed annually by the United Nations on 20 February, is a global reminder of the urgent need to build fairer, inclusive, and sustainable societies.&nbsp;The 2026 observance is of particular significance as it follows the Second World Summit on Social Development, held in Doha in November 2025. In this context this 60-minute online event seeks to carry forward the momentum generated by the adoption of the Doha Political Declaration by reaffirming social justice as a shared global priority. The event will provide a timely opportunity to underscore the urgency of translating political commitments into meaningful action.Serving as a moment of reflection and a call to action, the event will advocate for sustained engagement by governments, social partners, and key stakeholders to advance the commitments outlined in the Political Declaration and through the implementation of the Coalition’s Key Interventions.
