We see a world full of young people who are drivers of social change. Global Platforms provide innovative trainings and capacity development for young people to lead social, political and economic change around the world.
We support civil society and social movements through the development of tailor-made trainings. Together with you, our international team of experienced trainers will develop unique trainings that are guaranteed to deliver on your organisation’s objectives.
We believe that young people hold a tremendous potential to challenge the political status quo and play a key role in the fight for a more just and equal world. Our vision is to be a catalyst for youth-led social, political and economic change.
We want to empower young people by providing the right tools and space to learn, act and share:
UNLEASHING POTENTIAL
LEARNDevelop awareness of
power and rights through participatory and
action-based learning.
ACTTake action by claiming
rights through non-violent, creative
and innovative means.
SHAREExchange ideas and connect with other
engaged citizens on a local and global level.
PARTICIPANTS CHANGING THE WORLD
26 year old Daniel Orogo participated in a Social Media training at Global Platform Nairobi. Together with the other participants, Daniel developed a campaign against an illegal demolition of houses in the Kibera slum in Nairobi.
The viral campaign resulted in the presentationof a petition to the responsible Member of Parliament, ultimately stopping the demolitions and ensuring compensation for the displaced families.

- IAIN DISLEY, VSO
In the few months following the Global Platform trainings, VSO is already seeing evidence of impact, including young people raising awareness of human rights on radio in Nepal, youth-led community sanitation activities in Bangladesh and replication of different training elements.
Working with the Global Platform has brought a new cultural and artistic approach to our work with advocacy and mobilising - and the best is that it is coming from the youth.
