Calling all 11-18 year olds! Have you got a great idea to make a difference in your local community? Perhaps you have a scheme to reduce binge drinking or simply want to set up an after school club?
Well now is your chance! Leadership Development Organisation Common Purpose supported by Deutsche Bank, urge young campaigners to come forward and “CHANGEit”.
The scheme assists those who want to get their campaigning idea off the ground and to celebrate the success of those who have already made change happen.
The awards have nothing to do with academic achievement or exam grades, but everything to do with good citizenship and positive action. Campaigns covering all topics are welcome, whether it is to raise awareness of binge drinking amongst young people or to increase funding for a facility in their community.
Projects can be really big or really small - the judges are looking for achievable ideas and determination to make them happen, or evidence of a campaign that has had an impact and the way it has been delivered.
So now it’s your chance to make a difference! Join in whether you want to get an idea off the ground or perhaps you want your campaigning efforts to be recognised.
CHANGEit launches on 10 October 2007 and is open for nominations until 15 December 2007.
