Core offering

Operasjon Dagsverk (OD) organizes an annual youth-led solidarity campaign in Norway consisting of two main events: Internasjonal Uke (International Week, October 12-23), an educational campaign where students learn about global issues and vote on the year's international development project, and OD-dagen (OD Day, October 29), where students work for a day for employers who donate the earnings (300-400 NOK per student) to the selected youth-focused development project abroad. The organization also provides free educational materials to schools, sells OD-branded merchandise, and channels funds through partner FOKUS to projects in countries including Kenya, Tanzania, Guatemala, Colombia, Uganda, and South Africa.

Product overview

Operasjon Dagsverk operates a youth solidarity campaign centered on two annual events: Internasjonal Uke (International Week, October 12-23) for education and project voting, and OD-dagen (October 29) for fundraising.

The campaign is coordinated across schools through school committees, district committees, and a national committee structure.
