2. 10 Days of Activism 2012
“Nothing for us without us”
Young Faces: 30 Under 30
10 Days of Activism (10DoA) is an international campaign mobilizing youth organizations and young
people from 50 countries around the world to advocate for a rights-based, youth centered
development agenda at the national and global level , this year the third 10DoA will be taking a
place from 1st to 10th of September 2012 with the theme (Nothing for us without us ) we are
emphasizing that youth should be centralized to the global development agenda however this
should be done with us and not for us to be able to make the decisions, to take an active role in all
phases of decision making that affects our lives and to take up leadership roles to address and
promote the issues that matter for us including sexual and reproductive health and rights!
One of the channels used to achieve this is to highlight at least 30 youth led actions that are
promoting this agenda through local community channels and social media, while bringing national
stories to international attention.
The highlighted actions will be used to encourage others to participate in the 10DoA Campaign.
Young faces will celebrate and recognize young leaders in their communities as proof of the power
of young people , every day starting the 1st of september 3 new stories for young faces who made
diffrence in their communities will be promoted daily on 10DoA social media and media channels to
share with the world true stories of young people power and their contribution to communities on
diffrent levels , it can be a story of a peer educator raining awarness of HIV/ADIS in their village or a
young leader in the university or it can be your story !
