CFAs: ILO Ideathon for Social Justice Inititative

Apply for Social Justice Fund – United States

Deadline: 16-Aug-24

The International Labour Organization (ILO) has launched Ideathon for Social Justice Program to promote the participation of young people from Latin America and the Caribbean in the Global Coalition for Social Justice driven by the ILO, through the recognition of their innovative and creative capacity.

The International Labour Organization (ILO) has maintained a constant concern for the challenges faced by young people. At the International Labour Conferences of 2005 and 2012, an explicit call was made to redouble efforts to forge a more sustainable future with decent work, emphasizing the importance of active and meaningful participation of young people in this process. The Follow-Up Action Plan on Youth Employment for the period 2020-2030 underscores the need to continuously support social dialogue initiatives involving young people, recognizing them as an integral part of the solution.

In this context, and within the Global Coalition for Social Justice, it’s crucial to life the voices of youth in Latin America and the Caribbean, providing visibility and recognition to their perceptions of social justice and how to achieve it. To address this identified need, the Regional Office for Latin America and the Caribbean of the ILO has launched the initiative #IdeathonForSocialJustice.

The #IdeathonForSocialJustice Initiative calls on enthusiastic young people and agents of change from across Latin America and the Caribbean to present innovative proposals aimed at understanding their vision of social justice and exploring pathways to achieve it. This call represents a unique opportunity to address, through one of the three established categories, issues of vital importance related to social justice and decent work, offering the possibility for these ideas to be highlighted and enhanced through the visibility and technical support provided by the ILO and its collaborators, with the aim of supporting their implementation.

Promoters of selected ideas will have the valuable opportunity to participate in the ILO Global Youth Employment Forum, a space designed for young people from around the world to exchange ideas, share experiences related to the challenges of youth employment, and enrich the debate with their knowledge and experiences.
