1.    Background on Save the Children

Save the Children is the leading global independent organization for children.

We now cover 22 provinces across the country with Save the Children offices in Hanoi, Lao Cai, Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh City. In the implementation of our programs, we work in partnership with government agencies, civil society organizations, the private sector and academic and research institutions. We receive funding from institutional organizations, businesses, trusts and foundations, as well as private donors to support the implementation of our program.

2.    Background information/context

SHIFT is a campaign accelerator designed by Save the Children that supports young activists (aged 15 - 25) to design and deliver public campaigns for social or environmental change. Our focus is on utilizing emerging digital platforms that support young people to express their views and mobilize audiences. SHIFT uses a co-creation methodology designed through consultation with young people themselves – providing the tools, networks, resources, and skills required to effectively mobilize audiences on issues that matter most to them.

Beyond the change, we seek to bring about through individual campaigns, SHIFT also builds the confidence and skills of young community activists. To do this we have adopted an experiential model, with a focus on learning while doing. A seed funding mechanism is also used so that SHIFT participants can step beyond campaign theory and implement the campaign they have designed.
