Change the Conversation Challenge

Hello there CHANGEMAKER! We’d like to invite you to join the Change the Conversation Challenge!

  • Are you 31 or younger?

  • Have you ever helped someone understand that migrants enrich our communities and want to share your experience?

  • Do you have a small activity, an initiative, or project working towards changing narratives on migration?

If you answered yes to all of these questions, this is for you!

Given the success of the Youth Leadership and Innovation Award on Migration during the Youth Forum 2021, we decided to continue empowering already existing youth engagement through this platform and challenge. By telling us more about your experience in changing narratives, you can apply for the 500$ seed funding but also be featured on our communication channels.

The application and selection process is easy. For the first phase, you will have to send a video through this form answering some questions about you and what you have been doing to change the conversation on migration.


You have until May, 10th to submit your application.


Our jury will revise all the applications and will decide which videos pass to the next phase. In the second phase, the finalists will compete for an additional audience award, where the public will be choosing their favorite activity or project.

You will also be given a space to participate in our regional workshops and be featured on our platform @letstalkmigration and in the #ItTakesACommunity Youth Takeover.

For any questions, contact gabriela.cardim@unmgcy.org
