Log on to good.nickelodeon.tv today to get started
SINGAPORE, 3 AUGUST 2015 – Hey kids, are you ready to make your mark on the world? Child rights organisation Plan International and Nickelodeon International have teamed up to launch an exciting new campaign, Nickelodeon's Together For Good, to engage, celebrate and reward kids outside of the U.S. who are making a difference in their communities. The campaign kicks off across all Nickelodeon platforms outside of the U.S. including the dedicated microsite good.nickelodeon.tv. Kids can log on now to read inspirational stories about kids who are already making a change in their communities, engage in activities and challenges and download a toolkit showing them how to get involved and start making an impact – big or small.
* Click here to view Nickelodeon's Together For Good promo featuring The Thundermans' Jack Griffo and Kira Kosarin.
* Beginning mid-week, Nickelodeon and Plan International will invite kids aged 6 to 17 years old to log on to good.nickelodeon.tv to upload photos and videos of themselves making a difference in their community. A panel of Nickelodeon International and Plan International team members will then choose four finalists in each participating region outside of the U.S. who will be recognized for their achievements on Nickelodeon's websites and social media channels in their respective regions.
* Nickelodeon viewers will then have the opportunity to log on to good.nickelodeon.tv to vote to select one special change maker in each region who is creatively making a stand-out impact in their community.
* The campaign will culminate with a celebration honouring change makers from around the world and the announcement of one lucky finalist who will be selected by Nickelodeon and Plan International to receive the ultimate prize, an all-expense-paid trip to the U.S. to attend a Nickelodeon event as a VIP guest.
Nickelodeon's Together For Good is Nickelodeon International's new initiative to empower kids to make positive changes in the world around them. Together For Good will serve as Nickelodeon's international platform to inspire its audiences to get involved in their communities, provide the resources and education to get the job done and celebrate the impact they're making every day.
