The Mayor of Lilongwe working with Shifters Malawi in making their city clean ✨😎

How do you get over 1,000 young people passionate about leading 📢 campaigns 📢 within just 2 weeks?

Fun Adults from Southwest Sumba (Indonesia) goes the extra mile and show us how it's done 🚄 💨

How Southwest Sumba ramped up young people's participation | Shift When we say meaningful participation in Shift, we mean that excluded and marginalised groups of young people get the opportunity to tell us what issues matter most to them. It also means that they then, get the guidance and resources required to design a campaign around their issue and eventually

"Their ideas may sound weird but trust that they mean to do it and have the energy, the passion, the time and the agency to do it. Just trust them, let them do it. I always use the Nike gimmick "Just Do It"."

"The youth are really quick on what they set their eyes, mind and hearts on. As a fun adult, be quick, be fast to embrace their speed or lest you get them frustrated and when they do, you too shall lose your steam. Youth care less about bureaucracies, in fact they work to break them because they hinder their speedy action."

"The Shift theory of change talks about youth having the passion but lacking skills, resources, networks and platforms to influence the change they want to see. But in practice, youth in Shift will hit the ground before resources set it. Do not be surprised - their passion for change drives everything! I always say - 'the passion is their key resource'."
