About the session
This session focuses on how to design and implement public engagement and global citizenship campaigns that are not only informed by the priorities and perspectives of local and global partners but also drive meaningful change in public policy. By applying decolonial, anti-racist, and feminist principles, participants will learn how to craft campaigns that engage diverse communities, challenge systemic inequalities, and amplify marginalized voices. The goal is to equip participants with practical tools to create campaigns that effectively influence policymakers, build public awareness, and create tangible policy shifts that address the root causes of injustice and inequality.
