An Advocacy Toolkit: The Education We Want

This advocacy toolkit, produced in partnership with A World at School and the Youth Advocacy Group of the Global Education First Initiative, has been developed for young people, by young people.

Packed full of ideas, tools and inspiring stories, the resource helps children and youth to effectively advocate for their right to an education.

This toolkit is for anyone who believes passionately in the power of education as a force for good in the world and the right for all children to get a good quality education, no matter where they are and what the circumstances.

We hope this toolkit will support you to carry out your own advocacy campaign.

If you are just beginning to think about taking action on education, you can work your way through the toolkit from start to finish. But you can also dip in to pick up useful hints or activities to help you carry out your existing plans. We know this toolkit doesn’t cover everything you might need and we’ve tried to sign-post you to other resources where possible.

Included in here are lots of real stories of change, led by young people, from all over the world. We hope they inspire you. The young global movement for education is growing, and you can be part of it.
