With the SAY YES TO INCLUSION campaign, we want to show them that the world is watching!
This campaign is an initiative of the End Exclusion – Let’s Enable the MDGs project, led by LIGHT FOR THE WORLD.
The idea is to collect videos and photos of people making the YES sign in their local sign language. The photos/videos will be published in a gallery on our website to inspire others to make their own YES. The material we receive until June 2013 will be consolidated into one spot to be shown at the UN High Level Meeting. Our goal is to collect 15.000 YESs, so we need all the help we can get!
How can your organisation support the campaign?
You can help us disseminate the campaign with your networks and inspire contacts to take part. Encourage people to:
1. Find out how to say YES in your local sign language. Or use the international one: http://www.sematos.eu/isl-p-yes-1242-en.html
2. Get their friends together
3. Take a photo/video of themselves making the YES sign
4. Send their photo/video to info@endexclusion.eu with this information: Name/Organisation, City/Place, Country, or by sending us a link (to Facebook, Youtube, etc)
5. Share the message!
Why not get your staff together and make your own YES photo/video to show your organisation’s support for this issue? If your organisation would like to get more involved in the campaign, as an implementing partner visible on the end product, please contact Jess Blijkers at j.blijkers@light-for-the-world.org
