TakingITGlobal (TIG) is a registered charity focusing on global
issues by promoting awareness and engagement among global
youth. TIG uses an online social network, aimed primarily at youth,
to raise awareness and discussion on a number of global issues
and encourages youth to take action that affects their local and
global communities. TIG's main offerings include the multilingual
online classroom platform, which guides youth to a deeper
awareness of social, economic, and environmental issues through
collaborative learning activities and advocacy training. By building
a bridge between learning and action, the platform fosters mutual
understanding across continents and languages. There are a
number of tools that youth participants engage through, including
participating in discussion boards, writing blogs, posting art to an
online global gallery, creating project maps, and developing/
managing projects through the Commit2Act app.
The Centre for Global Education (CGE) is an educational division of
TakingITGlobal. CGE develops and delivers virtual, collaborative
learning projects aimed at K-12 students (5-18yrs) that engage and
empower youth as global citizens, through connecting them to the
people, places, and issues they are learning about in their
classrooms and encouraging them to take action that affects their
local and global communities. Since 2008, CGE has facilitated
educational programming for 100,000's of students, from over 600
schools, in more than 55 countries.
