Join the CID Humanitarian Network for the second part of a series of four talks and training workshops on advocacy, with Michael Sheldrick.
Find out how to continue to influence decision-makers, while also engaging with the public, and creating a movement. How do you attract activists, and promote and amplify your message?
Over the last decade Global Citizen has leveraged the power of governments, artists, corporations, NGO partners, and civil society with one common goal: to end extreme poverty. The organisation was co-founded by the creators of the “Make Poverty History” campaign. In 2020, Global Citizen is most well known for producing the "One World: Together At Home" and "Global Goal: Unite For Our Future" campaigns, which reached millions of people in over 150 countries and mobilized over $1.6 billion in cash grant funding in support of the WHO's COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund.
Michael Sheldrick is the Chief Policy and Government Affairs officer for Global Citizen, and a prominent civil-society speaker on global affairs, activism and development, and has written for the Guardian, Forbes and Huffington Post. He currently overseas the grants, philanthropy, impact and government relations team at Global Citizen.
