Youth Change

Over the last couple of years Oxfam has fought to make some important changes to improve people’s lives. Last year, Oxfam supporters campaigned to get Starbucks to pay Ethiopia a royalty when using the name of its coffee. In June Starbucks signed a landmark agreement with the Ethiopian government which will enable farmers to get a fairer price for their coffee.

That’s just one example of how campaigning can raise the profile of an issue and make a real impact on poverty and suffering in the world.

Youth change is a training programme designed to give you the skills to make your campaigning successful. It's a 5 day residential course run by Oxfam staff for young people, designed to provide specialist training on Oxfam’s campaigns by professional staff.
