 About TakingITGlobal
The Vision
Youth everywhere actively engaged and connected in shaping a more inclusive, peaceful and sustainable world.
Our Mission
We enable a collaborative learning community which provides youth with access to global opportunities, cross-cultural connections and meaningful participation in decision-making.

- Research, development, and sharing of best practices on youth engagement

Why Bother?
- Global awareness and understanding across cultures is key to the future of the planet
