Voice Your Mind

War Child enables Youth Ambassadors to become the leaders of their communities and gives them a voice on the topic of Mental

Health Psycho Social Support (MHPSS).

15 Youth were be selected by a Jury of Experts to attend a program of a workshop series to be prepared for creating their own content, raise their voices in front of a bigger audience and activate and strengthen their own communities.

The content created by these Youth Ambassadors will be published in a campaign through War Child and their partners between July and October 2020. It will also be used to promote the Online Youth Conference following in October 2020.

In the Online Youth Conference the Youth Ambassadors will be integrated as speakers and positioned to become the leaders of their youth communities.

We received many great applications for Voice Your Mind - now the final participants have been picked by an expert jury. We are happy to welcome our new Youth Ambassadors from all over the world: Uganda, South Sudan, Palestine, Syria and Colombia - living in Uganda, South Sudan, Qatar, Colombia, Sweden and Germany. They all have unique stories to tell and we're excited to listen.

In 4 exciting online workshops, our Voice Your Mind participants will gain knowledge and tools to be able to tell their own story, be empowered to speak up about mental health and create video content to be published through War Child. Four experts from different areas will lead the workshops with the focus on storytelling, speaker coaching and content creation.
