Inspiring Youth through Global Communications

Social Innovation Conversations - 二月 4, 2008
Fifty percent of the world's population is under the age of 25, and the majority of those youth live in the developing world. How do you harness the power and energy of that group for social action? In this conversation, Kriss Deiglmeier, executive director of Stanford's Center for Social Innovation, interviews Nick Yeo, development and communications manager of a unique nonprofit called TakingITGlobal.

Yeo discusses how the organization utilizes a free, multilingual online platform that employs Web 2.0 community tools to support youth in creating change in their communities and globally. He shares TakingITGlobal's strategies and approaches to effectively bridge online and offline engagement, as well as learning and action. The project won the 2007 Microsoft Education Award, administered by the Tech Museum in San Jose, California.
