(The United Nations Democracy Fund).

“Draw me Democracy!”

My Voice, Your Vote, Our Future - a new initiative by 4 Tomorrow – is one of the 64 projects selected of more than 3.700 applications in the UNDEF’s Fifth Round of Funding.

 
“Draw me Democracy!” - A campaign for Human Rights, Encouraging Participation in Civic and Democratic Initiatives – will consist of a series of workshops in 12 countries across the world: four in Latin America (Mexico, Bolivia, Ecuador and Colombia), four in Africa (Tunisia, Ghana, Kenya and Botswana), two in Eastern Europe (Georgia and Ukraine) and two in Asia (India and Pakistan).

 
The main objective of the project is to create awareness and more over build capacity at an individual and institutional level. The campaign aims to reach its objectives by bringing the tools of up-to-date technology and vision to both designers and CSOs with women`s empowerment as a core priority.

For starters, the project will run one-week workshops on advocacy advertising, social networking and communication. These workshops will be accessible to a large number of participants. One-year follow-ups will then be organized targeting smaller groups of participants in order to consolidate the learning and enlarge the network. Finally, a second round of one-week workshops will take place in four countries, which will be identified according to criteria of urgency and topicality.

"Poster 4 Tomorrow" is extremely proud of the endorsement the United Nations Democracy Fund. No other projects of its kind are currently active in the world. The project has been selected because of its uniqueness, its strong focus on innovation, the youth, its global range and its visual nature, making it easily accessible.
