Dance4Life

Dance4life works with young people together for a healthy future; for themselves, their environment and the rest of the world. Together with local partners, Dance4life informs them about sexual health and rights. They engage young people with a positive approach through dance, music and personal stories. Together with young people, they focus on influencing parents, teachers and governments for a society where young people can make healthy choices regarding sex and are able to receive the healthcare they deserve. This is done through education in schools, using music and dance to involve and inspire young people. The initiative is active in almost 20 countries, spread over 5 continents.

Restless Development

Restless Development is a youth-led development agency. Young people are most affected by the most persistent problems in the world, yet are frequently overlooked as part of the solution. Their mission is to place young people at the forefront of change and development. They are led by young people and young professionals, from the boardroom right through to the field. Restless Development has been working hard since 1985 and over the past 30 years, their programmes have reached over 7 million young people directly and indirectly.
