Jun 26, 2024 02:45 PMThis was the message of K-pop group Seventeen as they attended their nomination ceremony and delivered an inspiring speech to officially assume their role as UNESCO's first-ever Goodwill Ambassador for Youth.
As part of their ambassadorship, Seventeen will donate $1 million to the joint Global Youth Grant Scheme with UNESCO, opening a new chapter of the group’s “#GoingTogether” global campaign. I’m Joshua, speaking on behalf of the 13 members of SEVENTEEN today. We were here at the UNESCO Youth Forum just last November, and it was an unforgettable experience. We always wanted to come back. Thank you for inviting SEVENTEEN to this important occasion.
Each of our members has gradually grown a sense of duty, to hopefully be able to speak on behalf of youth, and to encourage them to pursue their dreams. With this growing sense of duty, we began our donations to children’s organizations in 2017. In 2022, we partnered with the Korean National Commission for UNESCO to launch a global youth education campaign titled “Going Together”.
Second, when you pursue your dream, please know that you are not alone. Find companionship with your fellow youth, and also give your support to them. As much as “hard work and drive are important, a supportive community and strong companionship also play a huge role in pursuit of our dreams.
