     ~·~ 1. Welcome to the Dispatch! ~·~ 

Thank you for your support, interest and involvement with TakingITGlobal.
We now have almost 1600 members from 111 countries! We hope that you will
continue to play an integral role in involving young people from your
country and around the world!

Did you know that Version 3 of the TakingITGlobal website has officially
launched? We would like to involve you in the next stage of this process
by inviting you to have a look at the http://www.takingitglobal.org website,
and providing us with any feedback you may have!

We kept this newsletter brief, but there's a lot more to see and do at
http://www.takingitglobal.org

     ~·~ 2. Contest - Promoting a Culture of Peace! ~·~

Be 1 of 10 chosen to be on a 'Promoting a Culture of Peace' postcard!

With all the chaos and disorder brewing in our world right now, and all
the worries and wonders that have been given flight, we want to present
you with this opportunity. Gaining an appreciation for the diversity present
in our universe and viewing your talented expressions of peace can inspire
those who have lost hope, in order to promote a culture of peace.

'Promoting A Culture of Peace' will be an exhibit within our Global Gallery
that will allow people like YOU from around the world to share artistic
expressions and reflections about peace. Ten (10) submissions will be
chosen to appear on the front of the 'Promoting a Culture of Peace' postcard
that will be distributed to our youth reps and various partners and organizations
worldwide that in turn promote arts, community, youth and education.
