In 2005, Nickelodeon and the Millennium Campaign launched the Nick 2015 Initiative, a multi-platform communication campaign aimed at raising awareness to end poverty and at getting children and young people involved in the realisation of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) by 2015. Nickelodeon's 26 channels across across Africa, Asia, Europe, and Australia broadcast a series of 30-second original animation shorts highlighting how the MDGs affect the lives of kids worldwide and what they can do to have a voice in their future. Each short in the Nick 2015 campaign encourages kids to sign an online petition.
