Objective:
- To provide young people a platform to make a real difference
- Improved awareness regarding IDA, it's work and it's impact in the minds of young people
- Create a social movement to get political & business leaders to take notice of IDA 21 as the ‘best investment in the future’

Creative Idea
Creative idea: If you give young people a platform to convert their social currency to real global change, they will use the platform to be on the right side of history because they are not apathetic and do give a f***
We want to reach our audience across all relevant touch points across the app, social media, influencer network, community etc. and keep the messaging consistent to echo the fact that young people will take action when they are given a platform which can drive real world change.
