Let’s wonder together…
If young people were actively
engaged in all aspects of society, and
thought of themselves as
community leaders, problem-
solvers, role models, mentors and
key ‘stakeholders’…how would the
world change?
- Jennifer Corriero, Executive Director, TIG

The New Zealand Curriculum takes as its starting point a vision of our young people as lifelong learners who are confident and creative, connected,
and actively involved.
Global awareness and understanding across cultures is key to the future of the planet. TakingITGlobal helps to prepare students and youth for today's knowledge economy - engaging them in local and global issues through an interactive online platform.

I think it has
really sparked their
enthusiasm and the
alerted them to the fact
that there is a big world out
there and that there are
many different
perspectives. The kids
have been quite proud to
share their culture with
the kids in Canada.

The conflict in Gaza - View from US supporter of Israel
“You said Hamas won legitimate elections - I have
some questions for you...
1 - do you think there is any chance they would allow
new free elections in Gaza now? If not how can they
maintain democratic legitimacy?

declared his intention of destroying the United States,
then started firing missiles at us - how would you
expect our government to react?
