OIYP Kaleidoscope volunteers
It’s all happening in the world of volunteers!
The Volunteer Support Team has received over 120 applications and we’re expecting a lot more to come in over the next couple of weeks. The standard of applications received has been very high, so we’re currently spending most of our time matching skills to roles. It’s great to see that there are so many talented people out there that are willing to offer their time and energy to OIYP Kaleidoscope 2007.

Publications from OIYP's Research Program
OIYP has always been committed to research – in the past through publications like The Youth Guide to Globalisation and Highly Affected, Rarely Considered. In this cycle of action, since OIYP2004, OIYP has been committed to a different type of research – research that takes advantage of the enormous opportunities that this network offers to learn about how to create change more effectively!
OIYP's research program focuses on learning about models of change, the role of young people in change and empowerment and disempowerment. Projects focus on awareness raising and behavioural change, youth-led interventions against HIV/AIDS and formal and informal ways of working. Read more here.
Watch this page for publications throughout this cycle of action. Starting with the Case Study Collection directly below.
OIYP Case Study Collection - AWARENESS RAISING & BEHAVIOURAL CHANGE
Do you try to raise awareness of issues and their impact in your work for change? Do you try and empower, inspire or encourage people to behave differently in your work for change?
Many OIYP Action Partners do - and this research presents a series of case studies and questions for reflection around our use of these strategies for change. In the collection there are case studies on workshops, peer education, campaigning, creative action for change and technology platforms for change.
