Cleansheet goes global to promote UNESCO’S MGIEP World Kindness Day
November 13, 2021 – World Kindness Day is happening November 13th, 2021 and UNESCO’s Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Education for Peace and Sustainable Development has enlisted cleansheet communications to help its hopeful message go global.
“Cleansheet’s ability to tell simple, inclusive stories that touch hearts globally caught our attention,” says the program’s youth specialist Abel Caine, referring to work like cleansheet’s “Wheels” spot which has been viewed almost 300 million times organically. “When what’s at stake is the world itself, you want world class talent,” noted Caine, who also spearheads their on-going #KindnessMatters global initiative.
World Kindness Day, is challenging the world’s youth to achieve UNESCO’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals – like eliminating poverty, hunger, gender equality and climate change – through transformative acts of kindness.
To inspire just that, cleansheet worked with UNESCO MGIEP and Faze Media to create a digital campaign to remind people that their everyday acts of kindness have been preparing them for this bigger calling – the world itself. By reminding people how good it feels to save a ladybug from a pool, pick a bottle off a beach or volunteer at a soup kitchen, the campaign then ups the ante by suggesting they could enjoy that feeling on a global scale.
“Every day, people engage in tiny little acts of kindness”, says Neil McOstrich, Chief Storytelling Officer at cleansheet. “All we’ve done is suggest that that feeling can be supersized to the world itself.”
The campaign was developed in conjunction with UNESCO MGIEP and global youth partner Faze Media. The five-execution video campaign will run online globally.
