November 10 World Youth Day holiday history. How is World Youth Day celebrated? History and traditions of World Youth Day

10th of November

Every year, young people around the world widely celebrate their holidays and events. International Youth Day is celebrated on August 12, Russian boys and girls celebrate Russian Youth Day on June 27.

November 10 is celebrated, which is established in honor of the founding of the World Federation of Democratic Youth (WFDY). This event took place at the World Youth Conference held on October 29 - November 10, 1945 in London.

This historic conference was convened at the initiative of the World Youth Council, which was created during World War II to fight fascism. For the first time, the conference brought together representatives of the international youth movement, which united more than 30 million young people of different political ideologies and religions, young people of more than 63 nationalities.

Since then, the international association of youth organizations has been the center of the international democratic youth movement, uniting young people from all over the world without distinction of political and religious views, race and nationality.

The WFDY is fighting for peace, the rights of youth, the independence of peoples, the international unity of progressive youth; against colonialism, neo-colonialism, fascism and racism.

The most famous event held by the WFDY is the Youth and Student Festival. The 1st World Festival of Youth and Students (1st World Festival of Youth and Students) was held in Prague in 1947 and gathered 17 thousand participants.

Russia has twice been the host country of the festival.

The 6th World Festival of Youth and Students was held in Moscow in 1957. Moscow that year hosted 34,000 participants from 131 countries. The motto of the holiday was the words: For peace and friendship! (For Peace and Friendship!).

World Youth Day, traditionally celebrated on November 10, is dedicated to the founding of the World Federation of Democratic Youth. The historic event happened in 1945 in London at an international conference. It was the first global event that brought together more than 30 million young people from dozens of countries with different skin colors, their own views on politics and religion. All of them were united by one thing - the desire to unite in the struggle for independence, democracy and peace on earth.

With the collapse of the USSR and the end of the cult of communism in Russia, this holiday was not widely celebrated. However, the country still remembers the events organized by the World Federation of Democratic Youth - two festivals of youth and students held in 1957 and 1985 in the capital.

"Day of the Soviet Youth", began to celebrate in 1958. It is celebrated annually on the last Sunday of June. In 1993, the first President of Russia B. N. Yeltsin moved the holiday to June 27. But despite the official order, in many cities of the country the date of the Youth Day remained "floating" - last Sunday of June. The reason is simple: June 27 is not considered a non-working day, so they try to time all festive events to coincide with the day off.

“The young are dear to us everywhere, the old people are honored everywhere” - is sung in a well-known song. And this is absolutely correct, because only careful succession and mutual respect of generations can give rise to a happy future. Ah, if it were not only in the song! But the first steps have been taken: the calendar includes both the Day of the Elderly and the Day of the Youth - who knows, maybe someday we will become more attentive to each other, not only on the appointed holidays and memorable dates?

How is this day celebrated? Of course, noisy, fun, sparkling - as befits youth. On Youth Day, as a rule, concerts, all kinds of entertainment events, etc. are planned.

But after all, the purpose of such "named" holidays is not only entertainment, but also to attract the attention of society and the state to a certain group of the population. Therefore, various events are held on Youth Day - conferences, seminars, competitions - allowing talented young people to diversify themselves and present their creative ideas to the general public. Often this day allows a young person to find a job they like or choose a profession.

Of course, society turns its attention to youth not only on this day, here is one of the latest news in this area: Russia plans to host the 19th Youth and Student Festival in 2017.

Similar festivals have been held since 1947. In Russia, the festival of youth and students was last held before the collapse of the USSR. Therefore, if these plans come true, it will be very interesting and certainly fruitful.

By the way, there is another holiday dedicated to young citizens. This is International Youth Day. It is celebrated every year on August 12 all over the world. It was established by the UN General Assembly as part of the World Conference of Ministers on Youth Affairs.

In 2000, the first official celebration of International Youth Day took place. Here is another reason to remember the concerns and problems of young people and support them in the difficult task of growing up.

And here is another interesting memorable date - World Youth Day, but it should not be confused with the holidays described above! World Youth Day is a religious holiday established by the Catholic Church. True, not only Catholics are invited to the World Congress of Young People, but everyone who wants to, regardless of their religion. Such a congress is held once every two or three years.

I wonder who is considered youth, what age group? Official statistics are strict: people from 14 to 30-35 years old are considered young people. But in fact, Youth Day exists for those who are young at heart and young at heart. So this is a holiday for all of us?

Every year, young people from all over the world celebrate their holiday.


This holiday was founded in 1945, some time after the end of World War II. World Youth Day was established to celebrate the creation of the World Federation of Democratic Youth, WFDY (World Federation of Democratic Youth, WFDY) during a world conference in London, which took place from October 29 to November 10, 1945.

This historically important conference brought together young earthlings from more than sixty-three different nationalities. Thirty million people united despite the difference in political views, different religions and nationalities.

For more than half a century since its founding, the Youth Federation has been doing everything possible in the struggle for peace, defending the rights of young people, advocating the international association of youth from all over the planet. WFDY is also actively fighting against racism, fascism, neo-colonialism.

Every year WFDY holds a festival of creativity for young people and students. This festival was first held in 1947. It died down in Prague, bringing together more than 17 thousand participants from different parts of the Earth.

Twice this youth festival was held in Russia. The first brought together about 34 thousand participants, representing 131 countries of the world, in 1957. And the second in 1985 was visited by 26 thousand participants who came from 157 countries.

Congratulations on World Youth Day 2013

Youth Day is the day of all in the world,
After all, everyone was once young.
Let's be like children today
We will repeat all the pranks of the past.

Everyone has the right to have fun.
And age is just a matter of mental strength.
Today we intend to forget
And conquer the whole world again.

If you are young in spirit
Today is your holiday
Here is the reason,
Give yourself a day off.
May the day of Youth come
And it's time for you to have fun
The spirit of the festival beckons us all so much,
It is a pity that Youth Day is only once a year.

On all continents of the globe, millions of young people celebrate World Youth Day - a holiday that originated at the initiative of young men and women who survived the most terrible event of the 21st century - the Second World War.

The holiday date was established in honor of the creation of the World Federation of Democratic Youth (WFDY) - a world-scale event that took place in London on November 10, 1945 at the World Youth Conference.

The Youth Conference was organized by the World Youth Council, which at that time united more than 30 million representatives of the multinational young generation of the planet, who were adherents of various religious beliefs, political views, but striving to overcome fascism by common efforts.

The WFDY was also called upon to prevent a repetition of the cruelest war, calling on the youth of the whole world to unite, to resist the instigators of military conflicts with a powerful united front, to fight for justice, equality, and the independence of peoples.

The UN recognizes WFDY as an international youth non-governmental organization of the left.
The Federation is active in political activities, contributing to the strengthening of peace. In 1959, she supported the USSR proposal for general complete disarmament. Initiated the Day of the fight against the atomic and hydrogen bomb.

The priority direction of the WFDY's activity is the protection of the rights of young people. She initiated and actively contributed to the creation of numerous international organizations for the material support of the youth of Latin America and Africa. Thousands of students study at universities on WFDY scholarships.

The Federation promotes the development of youth contacts in the field of tourism, labor, helps to implement all kinds of solidarity projects.

The most important event known to many is the World Festival of Youth and Students. The first one was held in Prague in 1949, and later the mass celebration of friendship and peace between the youth of the Planet became a regular event, held every two years.

The political and cultural program of the festivals includes discussions, seminars, concerts, aimed at building mutual understanding between peoples of different nationalities and cultures.

The internationally useful activity of the WFDY, the first organization in the history of the youth movement that unites the youth of the whole world, commands respect.

On World Youth Day, we wish every girl, every young man to remain young and energetic until the most respectable years, but from the earliest years to understand that only peace, justice, equality will make all of humanity and each person individually happy.

Happiness is subject to anyone, because it's so easy to make friends with the guys from a neighboring yard, to help someone who is defenseless or deprived of fate. Happiness and peace to everyone!

Recall that there is also International Youth Day, which is celebrated annually on August 12 and Russian Youth Day celebrated on June 27th.
