A Call to Global Youth for UN's 80th Anniversary
As the United Nations approaches its milestone 80th anniversary in 2025, the China Global Television Network (CGTN) is inviting young creators worldwide to participate in the "One Home: Shared Future" Visual Storytelling Initiative. This campaign asks global youth to imagine and express a more just, equitable, and sustainable future through any creative medium.

In a world facing intertwined challenges, the "One Home: Shared Future" initiative is a platform for global youths to connect, collaborate, and create a shared narrative for humanity’s future.
