Under the theme "Safe Spaces", this year's International Youth Day was celebrated through the opening of "Girls Guest House" in the Youth Village in Kufr Ne'meh in Ramallah.  Together with UNFPA, Sharek Youth Forum, the YPeers and Silatech, young Palestinians who came from different parts of Palestine, civil society members and UN agencies joined in this celebration.  The Youth Village , which was inauguated in May 2017, is a  the first ever integrated project to be implemented in open air.  It is a spacious land that provides youth with outdoors, innovative activities, and camping, physical and psychosocial support.  The "Girls Guest House" is the place that will give young girls a comfortable place to stay overnight, learn, discuss, design and innovate youth led programs and solutions to their problems through outdoor edutainment activities.
