Wall of Experience
Starting with this issue, Dispatch will feature an excerpt from the new 'Wall of Experience,' which will be made up of stories from members like you, who want to share their experiences with the TakingITGlobal online community. All you have to do is check out guidelines on the Wall, and the sample article, and then write! To make things easier, we're asking that members keep their stories and experiences close to the topic of the month. Remember something that was life-changing, incredible, or even something that made you think a little bit differently? Share it with everyone! Your insights help make the world a better place.

Languages and Multilingualism
Languages are the artifacts of human culture. For thousands of years, human languages have grown from a small number to thousands of diverse speech groups; yet today the world's "mother tongue" languages are in rapid decline as cultures die out, the world becomes globalized, and younger generations lose touch with their cultural roots.
Check out the Global Issues theme on Languages and Multilinguism, where you can learn about the issue, what others have done to spread the word, and the steps you can take to have a lasting impact.
