It is time to reflect on how employment that respects the rights of the most vulnerable can transform lives and contribute to more equitable societies. In a world where labour gaps continue to widen, your ideas can be a turning point to reclaim a fairer future. Participate in TEDIS 2025 and share your vision on the transformative power of decent work for all!
Why participate?
TEDIS 2025 is more than a public speaking tournament: it is a platform for young people to reflect and act on one of the great challenges of our time, in this case universal access to decent work.
TEDIS 2025 gives you the opportunity to:
- Expose your vision of how decent employment can transform not only the lives of many people, but also entire societies.
- Develop your public speaking skills and be an influential voice in society.
- Contribute to a global debate that seeks just and lasting solutions for all.
TEDIS 2025: Showcase your ideas, develop your skills and contribute to just and lasting solutions
How to participate?
- Write an inspiring speech.
- Register and participate in the online phase.
- If you have been selected, present yourself at the on-site final.
What is the theme of the speech?
SDG 8 of the 2030 Agenda: “Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all”.
You may be inspired
The International Labour Organisation (ILO) estimates that more than 200 million people are unemployed worldwide, a figure that includes millions of young people. Confronting this reality with innovative proposals and solutions is key to a fairer future.
In its social doctrine, the Catholic Church invites all, Christians and non-Christians alike, to see work as a source of dignity and personal fulfilment: ‘Work is a good for all, which must be available to all those who are capable of it. A society where the right to work is denied cannot achieve ethical legitimacy and just social peace’.
On the other hand, the SDG 2024 report reminds us that ‘The lack of decent work opportunities remains one of the main causes of poverty and inequality in the world.’ Young people, in particular, are pushed into precariousness or forced to migrate in search of better horizons.
What can I do?
The first step you can take is to look around you: what work needs do you see in your immediate environment? What tools do you have at your disposal to improve the situation? You may also be interested in the actions of the government of your city, community or country. Make your surroundings aware of this reality and share your vision of the importance of achieving an increasingly fair society in which everyone can contribute with their talent and a job well done.
