{ListaRepea} Fwd: TIG Dispatch 15.1: Global Goals & Belonging

What does belonging look like?

A sense of belonging is a human need, like the need for food and shelter and who we are is shaped by the people who we are connected to. As a part of this understanding, TakingITGlobal along with the Samuel Family Foundation are inviting youth to share their representations of inclusion in our Wha t Does Belonging Look Like? contest. Through this contest we invite your imagination, voice and perspective to depict visual art pieces on the theme of belonging, so that we begin to tackle the issue of isolation together.

Climate Change in my Backyard Contest

With COP21 quickly approaching, the need to discuss issues surrounding climate change are becoming ever more imperative. As a part of this discussion TakingITGlobal is embarking on a collaborative storytelling project with youth around t he world and we want your help! The Climate Change In My Backyard project will help us document and showcase the many ways that our own backyards are impacted by climate change. To do this we are looking for creative and impactful visuals, which will contribute to an educational children's book and will be highlighted in Paris and COP21 and the Conference on Youth (COY11).

A new global development agenda has just reached consensus at the UN, setting up a plan of action for the next 15 years of transformative change. We recognize that your organizations have been working to take action on the many chal lenges facing our world today. However we also realize that we are much stronger when we work together to tackle them. As we welcome in the Sustainable Development Goals, we want to give organizations the opportunity to connect with a network of other initiatives dedicated to global action. Be a part of this new wave of change and add your project to our Post-2015 Sustainable Development Goals Map.
