UN is actively promoting youth involvement and participation in global processes, including by its UN Youth delegate programme. Latvia introduced this programme in 2019 with support of the Ministry of Education and Science and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Ms. Kristiāna Plāte, the representative of the youth organisation “Club "The HOUSE"” was the first Latvian UN youth delegate in 2019-2020, followed by Ms. Natālija Knipše in 2020–2021, Anete Biķe for 2021–2022, and Melisa Matvejeva 2022–2023.
Activities organised within the framework of the UN Youth delegate programme raise public awareness of the work and objectives of the UN.
