Absence

UNICEF

UNICEF actively works to address our world’s global education crisis where around 244 million children are out of school, and 70% of the world’s ten-year-olds lack basic reading skills. BANG’s mission was to assist UNICEF in highlighting the education crisis and increasing engagement for children’s right to education. The goal was to inspire the public to actively support children’s right to education.

Using 100 illuminated school backpacks placed in an empty fictional classroom at Norrmalmstorg, we highlighted the severity of the education crisis. The result exceeded expectations: we reached a broad audience, generated significant funds, and established a long-term partnership with the Akelius Foundation, which doubled the funds raised. The campaign was successful in raising awareness and support for UNICEF’s education initiatives.
