Youth as agents of behavioural change (YABC)

Youth as Agents of Behavioural Change (YABC) is an initiative to empower youth to play a lead role in transforming mindsets, attitudes and behaviour in their local community. It starts from the premise that a prior commitment to inner change and being the living example of our Fundamental Principles and Humanitarian Values is the best way to reach this objective. YABC uses innovative and artistic platforms; it integrates peer education and non-cognitive learning to promote behavioural change and uses games, role plays, visualisation, drama, dance and art for youth to make the journey "from the heart to the mind" and succeed in social mobilisation.

In Sri Lanka, the Sri Lanka Red Cross Society, supported by IFRC, has been running a YABC programme for over a year now and we share the results one year on. This is an exciting project and we are seeing so many positive changes in young people and it helps the post war reconcilliation process..

  2. I drop a leave a response whenever I like a article on a website or if
    I have something to contribute to the discussion.

    Usually it's triggered by the sincerness communicated in the post I read. And after this post "Youth as agents of behavioural change (YABC)". I was moved enough to drop a commenta response ;-) I do have some questions for you if it's
    okay. Is it just me or do some of the responses appear like they are coming from brain dead individuals?
    :-P And, if you are writing at other online sites,
    I would like to follow anything new you have to post.
    Could you make a list the complete urls of your public sites like
    your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?
