Canada World Youth- A Promising Partnership
Related to this project: Creating Local Connections Canada/Liaisons locales Canada

Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Dear CLC and TIG members,

Today was my first meeting with a staff member from Canada World Youth -CWY- (http://www.cwy-jcm.org/), a famous organization which offers international educational programs to young people aged 17 to 24.

I met with Nadia Karina Ponce Morales, the program manager of CWY in the Quebec province, she is open-minded, dynamic, enthusiastic and happy to know about TakingITGlobal and to have me in their offices starting from next september.

So, CWY will be my host organization for year 3 of the CLC program, I am sure the partnership will be successful for TIG and CWY since they focus both on youth and they help them be involved in their communities. If CLC promotes and supports youth participation in Canada, Canada World Youth, created in 1971, has many programs that aim to help the youth develop their professional and interpersonal skills, make new friends, discover an other country and culture and improve their ability to work in a team.

With CWY, 18 young people from different cultures spend a total of six months away from their homes, living together for three months in a Canadian community and three months in a
community in one of CWY’s partner countries in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Eastern Europe or Latin America. (for more info, visit: http://www.cwy-jcm.org/en/aboutus/download/71971_BrochAN.pdf)

During the program of CWY, the participants live in host families and work as volunteers. Highly volunteering by the way :) (it is the title of a poem that I wrote recently, it was featured in the panorama).
An example of the activities can be preparing activities for World Food Day in Jamaica. Isn't it an exciting and learning experience?

The CWY program equipped thousands of young people with many useful skills for the future, a better understanding of global issues, and the ability and desire to contribute to the well-being
of their own community after the program.

Cheers

LET US SAVE OUR PLANET!

HELLO DEAR FRENCH-SPEAKING MEMBERS OF TAKINGITGLOBAL,

I have just created a group named Sauvons our planet! and whose objective is really to find together solutions, in fact, the solutions already exist, it is necessary just that the young people are sensitized on the environmental causes and that they sensitize also their entourage: their parents, neighbors and friends.

HERE THE BOND FOR THE GROUP: http://groups.takingitglobal.org/environnement

More than one year as a TIG member !
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Hello dear TIG members and friends,
Salut chers amis et membres de TakingITGlobal,

Today, I can celebrate a special aniversary: I have been an active member of TakingITGlobal for more than one year, and it is just the beginning, but I learned a lot, I learned to connect with others, share experiences and knowledge, discover other cultures in different countries or even islands like Vanuatu (btw, thanks Joel Kalpram for your messages).

Furthermore, from January 2008, I have been the Montreal Youth Engagement Coordinator and I am enjoying this position that inspired me a lot and is still inspiring me. Imagine, youth in different parts of the Quebec Province are involved in their communities, some of them are not since they don't have the tools to get informed, inspired and then involved, what I am doing with Creating Local Connections Canada (http://projects.takingitglobal.org/clccanada) is an effort to help youth become more aware of global issues like Climate Change, HIV-Aids, access to education or fighting poverty.

Moreover, I helped many new TIG members to get familiarized with the TIG website, I wrote new poems (Highly volunteering ! : http://www.takingitglobal.org/express/panorama/article.html?ContentID=19053 and Highly Green Movement: http://www.takingitglobal.org/express/panorama/article.html?ContentID=19095)

I was also very active on the TIG Website during the last months (2nd Most Active TIG Member), the idea is to inspire and encourage Francophone and Montreal's TIG Members to be active on the TIG platform as well.

I can't tell you guys all what I did as a TIG member, but, in a nutshell, my experience with TIG and CLC is one of the best experiences in my life. Hope it is the same for you.

What about your experiences with TIG ? What have you learned ? Is it worth to be a TIG member :) ??

Hope to hear your feedback soon !
J'attends vos commentaires, idées et réactions impatiemment !
Désolé de ne pas avoir écrit mon message en français et en anglais, vous pouvez utiliser l'outil de traduction, merci de votre compréhension.
