ammado really is about empowerment of people

While in Singapore,  ammado founders, Peter Conlon and Dr. Anna Kupka, were interviewed for the popular radio show ‘the living room’ on Radio 938. They talk about their mission to connect people and organisations from all over the world and empower them to bring about change both at a local and global level.

Peter strongly believes that lack of tolerance comes from lack of knowledge and fear of the unknown. By connecting people from across borders he hopes ammado will help create more tolerance in the world. Anna explains how the platform allows nonprofits to set up their own networks of supporters and gives a sneak preview into our soon to come ‘Giving Circle’.

Young people are a powerful voice with a key role to play in the promotion and protection of human rights.

In this podcast interview Sarah Atkinson, International Youth Coordinator for Amnesty International, talks about her recent visit to Hong Kong and the launch of the Asia Pacific Youth Network - a community connecting young people in the Asia Pacific who want to make change happen. This network is open to all individuals desiring social change; aiming to connect them to issues of interest and to open doors to new opportunities for action.

Sarah discusses the importance of social media to such a network and the human rights movement generally and underlines young people as valuable advocates for tolerance and peace. Looking ahead to the campaigns the network will be focusing their energies on, she sees that the scope for local and global engagement will not only include, but be driven by young people.
