The month is upon us!
You are educated on the issues; you have learnt the facts; you know the stories… So get out there and start spreading the word! Change begins with you!
Global Education Month is where you, as educated ambassadors, begin spreading the word on these issues and educating others on how their actions can have an impact!
This is your opportunity to get creative in promoting the issues! How can you get these issues heard? In what ways can you attract attention and allow your peers to understand the situations of those living in developing countries?
Word-of-mouth is a powerful advocacy tool. When you are passionate for a cause, it emanates through you and reaches out to others.
This “HOW TO” Pack is designed with tips and advice to get you thinking of ways in which you can begin spreading the word: with your family, friends, school and wider community!
Did you miss the opportunity to hear PK talk at your school? No worries: You can listen to his story in an interview podcast here.
The following clip is a Vox Pop taken at the Vic S4S Conference held in March this year.
Hear from your peers on how young people can create change and what it takes to be a leader:

Each facilitator came from a different background and had a different story to tell. It was so hard for us to chose between facilitators, and even harder to call up unsuccessful applicants to tell them they were not going to Australia. I wish so much that we could have just sent all of them! Read More
