How Does Change Happen - Global Gallery "How does change happen? This is perhaps one of those eternal questions that carries both simplicity and depths of complexity juxtaposed in a tension so bright and dark that emotions explode and identities blur. Is your belief defined by your role or is your role defined by your belief? How does change happen?" These are the opening lines of a poem by TIG's Executive Director, Jennifer Corriero, written during the COP15 climate negotiations in Copenhagen. The poem features visual accompaniment, a series of paintings based on perspectives featured in the work. Check out the Global Gallery collection to see Jennifer's paintings. A book showcasing the paintings and poem is also available, with all proceeds supporting TakingITGlobal's work. |

Our Year. Our Voice. In December 2009, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution proclaiming 2010-2011 as the International Year of Youth. The year will commence on August 12, 2010 which is the International Youth Day and will actually coincide with the 25th anniversary of the first International Youth Year in 1985. Let TakingITGlobal help you start the celebration! Promote your youth organization, share your thoughts through TIGblogs or find out about different events happening around the world. It's our year! Let our voices be heard! |
