Pop hearthrob Harry Styles has released a video in which he says he 鶹APPwants to live in a world where every child can go to school鶹APP.
The One Direction star talks about the band鶹APPs visit to Ghana in 2013 with the British charity Comic Relief, when they went to a children鶹APPs hospital.
The initiative asks the British group鶹APPs fans to share pictures and videos about issues they care about deeply, such as education.
It is part of , a global citizens鶹APP movement which is united by the idea that 2015 can be the year when the world sets the agenda to end extreme poverty, tackle inequality and climate change. The movement wants to compel world leaders to make ambitious commitments at the United Nations General Assembly in September.

That is when A World at School鶹APPs youth-led 鶹APP which has gathered more than eight million signatures so far 鶹APP will be handed over. It demands world leaders keep their promise to get every child into school without fear of danger or discrimination.
One Direction said: 鶹APPTime and again our fans have shown how creative and powerful they can be when they unite and that鶹APPs why we want to all join together to speak out and hopefully make a real and lasting change to the world around us.
鶹APPYoung people really do have the power to help end poverty, tackle inequality and to stop dangerous climate change. Now is the time for us to unite, take action and raise our voices to show that we care about the future of our planet.鶹APP

Brendan Cox, Director of Policy and Advocacy at 鶹APP part of action/2015 鶹APP said: 鶹APPOne Direction is the biggest band in the world and by mobilising the millions of young people in their fanbase they鶹APPll shine a light on to the most important issues of our time. UN processes are normally worthy but dull.
鶹APPWe hope One Direction鶹APPs work will make this year鶹APPs key summits not only worthy but a matter of public excitement. Only with that public engagement will whatever is agreed actually get put into practice.
鶹APPThis really can be the generation which changes the future for the better.鶹APP
