National Youth Day
July 5 – National Youth Day
The year 1965 saw the birth of the Algerians. More than a thousand young people, boys and girls from high schools and colleges and youth work centers, took part in mass exhibitions.
Subsequently, a government decision declared July 5 National Youth Day. And on July 5, 1966, Algerian youth celebrated their first national holiday with splendor and magnificence.
Hundreds of young people from the most remote corners of the country met in Algiers. All united in the same spirit, they shouted to the world their joy of life and their enthusiasm.
Alongside the general movements, the Algerians of 1966 were the occasion for various sporting, cultural and artistic events. This is how exhibitions and competitions between musical, theatrical and folk groups took place in all the jubilant districts of the capital, without forgetting the torchlight procession and the radio hook competition.
This year, the Algerians will take on a special shine. As in 1966, they will give rise to numerous other events where art, culture and sport will be widely represented.
Authentically Algerian music will accompany the different compositions of the ensemble movements. Once again, a healthy and enthusiastic youth will express with joy and dignity and with the ardor and faith that it is the only one to possess its desire to serve the new Algeria.
