#project 1d

Action1DProject is an online project run by a voluntary group of One Direction fans who have been inspired to create a social media campaign dedicated to promoting the goals of the Action/1D initiative, which have been set up as part of Action/2015.

The 1D fanbase spans global communities and is spread across all age ranges and, as concerned citizens of the world, concerted action by these fans can help to make a difference worldwide. By instigating this campaign as part of Action 2015, One Direction and their team have provided the opportunity for new voices to be heard.

What are we concerned about in our communities? How can we make the world a better place? Over 50,000 actions have already been recorded by One Direction fans online on equality, education and sustainable development.

Action1DProject believes this is a great start, but we can do more. We are launching 100k for Action/1D to boost fan participation through videos, photos, and other media to help Action/1D reach 100k actions and beyond! To do this, we will be:

Organising a Thunderclap on 12 August 2015

Encouraging the sharing of ideas and actions through our social media channels at action1dproject.tumblr.com and action1DProjct on Twitter

Providing background information on Action 2015 and Action/1D

Establishing a dialogue on sustainable development and climate change which will continue after Action/1D ends

We want to give the fans a voice hear their thoughts and validate their concerns with the aim of providing a support network and platform to help fans take action.
