Coming soon

Past Campaign Highlights

Some KAP campaigns are no longer active in the same way, but they still show what young people can achieve when they take action and speak up.

#KAPtat

A KAP campaign that challenged unnecessary plastic “tat” and helped young people call out wasteful, pointless plastic products.
