Creative Activism

When Acting for Change Becomes an Art Form

Creative activism is understanding what we want in our world and directing our energy into it’s creation and promotion. Instead of highlighting the negative aspects of society it emphasizes what we could do, what we can achieve and how we can be.

Step into the real world.

Give yourself a voice.

Take control of your society.

Empower your life.

Stop being lead by others.

And enjoy yourself.

“The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing” - Albert Einstein

Young Society Initiative believes in the power of Creative Activism.

from the manifest of Rock-A; "Capitalism is in crisis and everyday more people are struggling in poverty... The companies are only in the greed sense of the profit... and ambition of our lives are continuing to be exploited... The world of profit and money greed continue to kill thousands of people... There is still a way to solve the problems... Let's Rock!"

We are singing our songs for freedom and peace!

We sing our songs to stand against all discriminations ...

Free Hugs!

Sharing the love...

Young Society Initiative celebrated "International Free Hugging Day" in Izmir on 22nd of march 2008. Young Society Initiative co-organised Free Hugs Campaign in the entrance of Kıbrıs Sehitleri Caddesi, Izmir together with the volunteers of Couch Surfing and Hospitality Club.

The Free Hugs Campaign is a social movement involving individuals who offer hugs to strangers in public places. Founded in Sydney, Australia by Juan Mann in June 2004, the campaign was widely publicized in 2006 by a music video on YouTube by the Australian band Sick Puppies. The campaign is an example of a random act of kindness, a selfless act performed by a person for the sole reason of making others feel better by sharing goodwill, peace and friendship.

Young Society Society thanks all the young volunteers who have the courage to share their love with the others...
