Vietnam Rising: Youth Movements for Wellbeing and a Greener Future
What do we want to do?
This 3-year project will work with locally rooted changemaker groups that are already actively engaged in raising awareness and communicating about the issues that matter to their communities. Building on their existing momentum, the project will strengthen their confidence, skills, and connections—enabling them to design and lead impactful movements that shape public discourse and drive meaningful change on the issues they care most about.
The goal is to transform their energy and ideas into sustainable, child and youth-led solutions — while investing in their long-term leadership as independent agents of change, beyond the support of any institution.
