The Advocacy Project

It is without doubt inspiring and powerful to work in an organization that is all about grassroots development and learn more about the notion of civil society and civil movements and seeing all AP’s partner organizations develop and grow over time. The organizational structure is relatively informal and allows for a lot of your own initiative. If this is not your thing and you prefer more structured tasks there are lots of that type of assignments as well. One thing that is always interesting is to read the blogs and watch the videos online of all the fellows who are with all the different partner organizations all over the world. I definitely have a stronger understanding of the power of media and of information-dissemination, particularly regarding human rights and campaigning in ways to raise awareness. The power of social change really does lie within the people in so many situations, and the key to unite and harnessing that power lies in information and the way it is spread.
