Voice Your Mind
Youth Advocacy Campaign & Conference 2020
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.
