TikTok, the leading short-form video content, has since its inception been sharing tonnes of content. While a number of TikTok users share content that is fun, a large portion of users share content that makes a difference. TikTok, too, has recognised this and has had several campaigns such as #EduTok, #SafeHumSafeInternet, and #ForClimate in which users participate to come together to make a different.
Here are some of the TikTok campaigns that have appealed to TikTok users:
#EduTok: #EduTok empowers TikTok users to create meaningful and inspiring content around various themes with a focus on education, motivational, safety, health and wellness.

The success of #EduTok is a testament to TikTok as the preferred medium of creative expression for 200 million users across India.
#ForClimate: TikTok has been actively asking its users to promote the dangers of global warming, and recently even teamed up with International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC). As a part of its campaign, TikTok has launched three new stickers that depict extreme weather conditions. These are rainstorms, snowstorms, and global warming. All these are part of the #ForClimate challenge.
