Strengthening intergenerational ties through civic engagement
This year, International Youth Day advocates for intergenerational solidarity. UN Volunteers Salomé Jacquet (27) and Abdelkrim Tounsi (68) come from two different backgrounds and belong to two different generations. Yet, they both pursue the same goal of creating a world for all ages, facilitated through intergenerational dialogue.
Salomé Jacquet (France) is a UN Volunteer Local Development Specialist serving with the UN Development Programme (UNDP). She supports a project focused on supporting decentralization, governance and local development as a means of improving the living conditions of beneficiary communities. Since 2019, she has been serving as the project’s focal point for youth-related aspects.
