“Young people should be at the forefront of global change and innovation. Empowered, they can be key agents for development and peace,” said Kofi Annan, the seventh secretary-general of the United Nations.
Based in Hong Kong, the establishment of the International Diverse Youth Organisation serves the premise that youth should be capable of demonstrating their potential without limitations or hesitations for themselves, their families, and the social good.
The age of globalisation brings diverse people together but also challenges finding a common ground of living regarding culture, religion, etc. Still, a sustainable future is in the hands of all the youth in the world to safeguard.
We call for an open youth policy framework with necessary welfare support for diverse youth in Hong Kong and other regions via our activities and research to attain “engagement, enhancement, and empowerment” and brighten their future vision.

Ethnic Food
Cooking
Nigerian cuisine consists of dishes or food items from the hundreds of Native African ethnic groups that comprise Nigeria. Like other West African cuisines, it uses spices and herbs with palm oil or groundnut oil to create deeply flavoured sauces and soups.
Diversity and Youth Development Activities
Expanding the scope of children and teens and offering them diverse experiences with various people is crucial for their all-rounded development and cultivating an open, inclusive attitude. We provide activities for diverse youth and different organisations to achieve the goal.
