On February 4, 2025, IVECA proudly hosted the 2025 UN ECOSOC Partnership Forum Parallel Event, Inclusive Partnerships & Digital Global Citizenship Education: Advancing Social Cohesion for a Sustainable Future, at the United Nations Headquarters in New York.
Co-sponsored by the Permanent Missions of the Republic of Korea and Portugal to the United Nations, the event brought together global leaders, educators, and students to explore how Digital Global Citizenship Education fosters social cohesion and drives sustainable development. Ambassadors and expert panelists shared insights on the importance of inclusive partnerships, while students presented innovative solutions addressing real-world challenges.
A key takeaway was the urgent need for inclusive partnerships and digital learning to equip youth with the knowledge, skills, and ethical responsibility to drive change. Students shared real-world solutions aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), reinforcing the power of youth-driven initiatives in shaping a more just and sustainable world.
As Rev. Dr. Brian K. Muzás emphasized in his closing remarks, "Together, we can ensure digital education for global citizenship becomes a force for social cohesion and sustainable development."
