How to lead a campaign4. Collate results –Take a look at your findings
1. Gather initial ideas within your Youth Council / Youth group
2. Look at cost and logistics as a group to see if your campaign is realistic
3. Split initial research tasks between your group to see if you idea is relevant to the young people in Your Local Authority
5. If the results are there, and you think your campaign will be supported by the young people –you can get key decision makers on board – and start campaigning! Get your voice heard and represent the young people in your local area!
How can you get
others involved in
your campaign?
Go into schools Use Social Networking sites
Writing to Local Newspapers
Ask for a Radio interview
Start a petition
You can visit your local schools to promote your campaign, and to see if anyone’s interested in getting involved.
Using Social Networking sites helps to get your voice heard; if it’s Facebook, Twitter or alternatively, you can create a blog!
Newspapers are usually very interested in collaborating with young people! Get in contact with them, sending them a little information about the campaign, plus a few pictures!
If you feel confident you can always ask for an interview with a local radio station; this opens your campaign up to support from all ages
This is clear evidence that your campaign is supported by young people. It also lets them know the kind of campaigns out there, so they have the opportunity to get involved
Here are a number of ways you can spread your message:
Plan your own
local campaign…-What is your local campaign?(e.g. For a local park)-How will you gain the young peoples views?-Once you have the young peoples support, how will you spread your message and gain support?
