Dear Earth Lovers, Music and FilmĀ Enthusiasts, andĀ Global Change-makers,Ā
Itās now almost 7 months since YouthMundusā official launch, and we could not be more excited about the journey we are on. Our Team of dedicated and strong women set out on a quest to help change our world for the better by creating a specialized experience specifically aimed at YOUTH, and centered around the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
We often get asked about what inspired us to embark on such an ambitious endeavor. We simply tell them that we couldnāt wait any longer, and we just hadĀ to do something. Itās not enough to just tweet andĀ post on Instagram anymore, everyone needs to be doing much much more - our actions areĀ way overdue. Itās time for everyone to take that shovel and start digging.Ā
NEVERĀ have the voices of today;s youth been more powerful, vocal and resilient.
NEVER has there been a greater sense of urgency for the worldās youth to unite and promote equity and justice for all.
NEVER has there been another Global Music and Short Content Festival Initiative not only organized FOR youth, but also WITH youth with the main purpose of uniting, promoting social change and combat injustice...until NOW.
WHY YOUTH?
According to Nielsen and UN data, todayās youngest generation, the Gen Z-ers, outnumber the Millennials.Ā These passionate voices have illustrated and proven numerous times that positive change does not happen by just talking about it.Ā Change happens byĀ ACTING and being PROACTIVE. Todayās young voices inspired our team, and continuously inspire our team to do better every single day. Itās the smallest acts or steps towards solutions that can make all the difference, whether they be environmental or just simple acts of kindness. In the end, we are all human beings or āroommatesā sharing ONEĀ planet. Scientists urge us all to come together NOW and help protect it, because in about 15 years time there might not be anything left for us to protect.

Last weekās focus on devastating AmazonĀ fires have hopefully awoken more people up to go out there and champion. Hence, we are calling upon EVERY SINGLE ONEĀ of you to join us in our efforts, and help us ensure that future generations will have a place to call home in decades and centuries to come!
Thank you SO much to all our devoted readers and YouthMundees for all your continuous love and support. Only together and through positively empowering each other can we truly create change and make a difference!
We hope to see you in Rome in November.Ā
Lots of love, #Team IVA
