I raise awareness in matters under the scope of UNICEF through the creation of content for the posts on social media, through writing blogposts (Forced Labour, Yemen Crisis, South Sudan refugees, Aboriginal Australian Stolen Generation) and by organising lectures on relevant topics with highly specialised speakers (i.e. Holocaust lecture) as well as creating content for the UN International Days with the aim to raise awareness on a specific topic (i.e. World Immunisation Week, International Day of Commemoration in Memory of the Victims of the Holocaust, World Day Against Child Labour, etc.).
