Convince Them!

To make politicians understand the importance of Friendship, you must say it in new, interesting, funny or exciting ways.

Art by Tania S., Italy , 2001

Tell politicians that a huge number of kids are for friendship. Show them what kids in Kidlink say about the issue. Help make our list longer by adding more names! Surprise newspaper readers, radio listeners, or TV viewers with the number of kids you have found; changes in the number of kids for friendship by year; interesting things they have said (including what they suggest may be done!). Seek collaboration with other Kidlink kids:

artists - funny, exciting, convincing pictures, movies, sculptures, whatever
KidTech - maybe they can make software to analyze and present what you find? Maybe they have ideas about how to automate or strengthen your contacts with media?
acting - maybe they can make some plays that could be recorded in Flash or QuickTime, and be used to promote Friendship over the internet? Maybe they have some other funny or exciting idea? Humour is a strong weapon
dance - performance artists always get attention - even by politicians - and they often have freedom to decide the contents of what they show. What about a Friendship Dance?
fashion - Think about it: What if one million kids were walking down the streets with Friendship clothes on? What an advertisement of your opinion!
journalists/writers - to communicate with all media, and more.
