Activista is ActionAid’s network of student and youth activist groups in 15 countries, campaigning for a HungerFREE world. We want to create a HungerFREE world through innovative, powerful and global campaigning.

 

Activista groups are made up of core youth activists working with artists, film-makers, musicians and with partner student campaigning organisations to create powerful and creative campaigns.

 

Furthermore, we run creative, energetic training courses about campaigning, leadership and mobilisation.
