World Youth Day 2025 | Cantos do Sabiá

João Lucas França – Broadcaster and communicator for the Sabiá Center.

March 30th is World Youth Day. It’s not just a commemorative date, it’s not just a celebration: it’s a call to youth in all territories, all over the world.

A call to action, to face up to the changes that the world is imposing on us – be it political changes, with the resurgence of fascism, totalitarian governments and wars all over the world, but also the war against extreme weather, which is becoming ever more intense thanks to climate change. Thanks to human action.

Amid wars, climate crises and an uncertain future, the question arises: Where are the youths of the countryside, the waters, the cities and the forests? Where is the future of youth? Happy World Youth Day. Let’s fight!

Joining us on this week’s podcast is Joelma Carla – a professor of Literature, cultural producer and agresteira. She was an MP in the Mandata Coletiva Juntas and is also a member of the Youth Forum of Pernambuco (Fojupe). And Regilane Alves – a member of the Pastoral da Juventude and the Youth WG of the Articulação Nacional de Agroecologia (ANA).

Cantos do Sabiá is the Sabiá Center Podcast! Every week we discuss agroecology, sustainability and politics in the countryside and the city! The podcast goes live every Monday, with the complete interview edition that originally made up the Center’s radio program. https://spoti.fi/31VtUj5
