UNICEF Youth Advocacy Guide: Call for stories
Have you ever done something publicly to take action on an issue, cause or policy?
We want to hear your story!
We are looking for stories about active African youth citizens, young people who have taken on an issue and tried to make a positive difference in their communities by advocating for change and gathering support.
We are looking for a broad range of stories about youth involved in different social, economic and environmental areas. This could include environmental awareness, climate change related activities, human rights, gender rights, economic development or any other related topic you think is important and relevant today.
These stories will help us put together a guide for other young people, equipping them with the knowledge and experience to effect change in their own communities. The most powerful stories will also be shared through our youth networks, documenting the important work that youth are doing across the globe.
Tell us your story and help to inspire youth activism across the continent!
