My World 2015

The My World global survey is a platform created by the UN through which everybody, regardless of age, gender, background and nationality can vote. These votes are on issues that matter the most to each and every individual. At the end, the results will be shared with global leaders, and addressed by the secretary general.

Global Dignity Day

On October 15th, Global Dignity Day was celebrated all over the world and TakingITGlobal played a key role in supporting the Canadian activities. With our partners at the Centre for Global Education, we organized a national video conference connecting schools coast-to-coast.

Our Executive Director Jennifer Corriero travelled to Arviat, Nunavut and organized a series of events and activities to promote inclusion and dignity with Daniel Kooveanatuk, our Nunavut Youth Engagement Coordinator. CBC published a great article showcasing the potential of this creative approach to fostering dignity in a place where more than 70% of youth do not complete their high school studies.
