From Wall Street\u2019s Fearless Girl to an enticing site dedicated to saving koalas, these winners are using the internet to spread awareness and initiate change. In this series, we highlight Webby For Good winners built on WordPress. For many nonprofits, organizations and individuals WordPress\u2019 affordability, flexibility, and scalability provide the perfect framework to spread awareness, organize, and maintain a campaign or project.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ULTKulx5WO8\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-38485\" src=\"https:\/\/wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/UNICEF-1-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/>For many reasons, not all children have access to education. Only half of the Syrian refugee population in Lebanon have access to education due to hindrance by child marriages, child labour, violence, and poverty. In this segment, we highlight, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.webbyawards.com\/winners\/2018\/websites\/features-design\/best-user-experience\/imagineaschool\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">#imagineaschool<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, an interactive documentary about the obstacles Syrian refugee children face when trying to access education. UNICEF and Vignette Interactive partnered to provide a platform for the story and photos of 19 children struggling to stay go to or stay in school.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The interactive works by engaging visitors via questions about their experience in school and relating their experiences with that of Syrian refugees. Their interactive documentary approach is both unique and enticing. While viewing the documentary on the sleek and simple interface, users consume hundreds of photos, statistics and up to 30 minutes of video. Users typically spend more than 15 minutes on the site but the experience feels seamless and brief.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0WoR6h9Us9I\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To increase awareness, UNICEF knew they needed a cutting-edge approach dependent on user engagement.
