![]() Monthly Theme: Food The World Food Programme and Walk the World have partnered with TakingITGlobal to bring you the 'Food' Monthly Theme! What is your relationship to food? All of us need it, some of us grow it, many of us cook it, but how many question it? TakingITGlobal's monthly theme is your opportunity to learn about important food topics like hunger, genetically modified foods, nutrition, vegetarianism, water, and more. Celebrate food, by sharing your personal stories and views, photographs, not to mention your recipes! Plus, find out ways to put your knowledge and concern into action. From small actions you can take in your own life, to larger strategies - celebrate, reflect and act on TakingITGlobal's Monthly Theme on Food. Clicca qui!
Lingua come Violenza, Violenza come Lingua
TakingITGlobal e l'Unesco ti invitano a contribuire ad una pubblicazione creativa speciale con la presentazione di immagini e di testi creativi che interpretino ed esprimano la violenza come un sentimento, come un linguaggio e che esplorino linguaggi alternativi alla violenza. Una selezione limitata dei contributi sarà scelta per la pubblicazione che sarà prodotta in stampa ed inoltre sarà resa accessibile on line.Gli obiettivi della pubblicazione sono di mettere in luce le forme molteplici di violenza che i giovani incontrano, percepiscono ed esprimono nel loro ambiente sociale quotidiano con il fine ultimo di esplorare attivamente e di sviluppare 'linguaggi alternativi alla violenza'. L'obiettivo primario è quindi di fare una certa luce sulle molteplici dimensioni delle cause, dei contenuti, della natura e delle conseguenze della violenza. Un punto essenziale all'interno di questa sfida è la comprensione delle conseguenze. Le conseguenze che sono complesse conducono spesso ad un dialogo difficile, con il superamento delle barriere come primo punto nel venire a contatto con la sfida della comprensione di persone di differenti razze, culture, etnie, sesso e contesti di provenienza.

Survey!
Transnational Youth Activism is one of the most striking current examples of globalization's human networks. Increasing numbers of activists work in transnational advocacy networks that involve activists outside as well as inside the organizers' nations of origin. This study is being sponsored by Mica Pollock of the Harvard University Graduate School of Education in collaboration with the Global Youth Action Network and TakingITGlobal. It will boost the visibility of young people as actors in new and growing social movements that cross national boundaries and will ultimately strengthen our joint work. Please pass the opportunity on to others. Clicca qui!
Youth Delegates at the UN
Is your country sending a youth delegate to the UN General Assembly?This year marks an important year for young people at the United Nations: In the 60th Session of the General Assembly the situation of young people around the world will be reviewed, as well as the achievements attained in the implementation of the World Program of Action for Youth (WPAY) ten years after its adoption. But who can review the situation of young people better than young people themselves? The UN General Assembly has already recommended three times that Member States include a youth representative in their delegations, but unfortunately still only a few countries do so. You can find out if your country is sending a youth delegate by visiting the website of the UN Youth Program. Clicca qui! You can also find useful information there on how to become a youth delegate if your country is one of those that do not have a program to select youth delegates.

Global Gallery Contest "We Are What You Eat"
Tutti sanno che tu sei cosa mangi - cioè che cosa consumi non solo incide sul tuo portafogli e sulla tua coscienza, ma anche sulla tua salute e benessere. Inoltre ciò che mangi condiziona il mondo intorno a te e riguarda tutti noi. Il cibo che noi mangiamo condiziona l'ambiente intorno a noi, l'aria che respiriamo, l'acqua che beviamo, i campi dove corriamo, le nostre economie, le politiche di governo, la strada che dividiamo con gli altri, la vita dei lavoratori e dei consumatori allo stesso modo. Si tratta non solo dell'alimentazione e del consumo, si tratta anche delle persone intorno a te, degli amici di ogni giorno e delle facce invisibili e remote senza nome.Ogni volta che mangiamo, condividiamo il nostro cibo con molte altre persone, ben oltre quelle che sono sedute al nostro tavolo. This month the Global Gallery invites you to create images representing the impact of what we eat; images of how you share your food with others, images of influence on the the massive world around us and of impact on our everyday experiences, and images showing how our world is affected and changing, in positive or negative ways, because of our eating habits.

Food is the lifeblood of human existence. Without it we become weak, inert, demoralized; Hunger and malnutrition permeate the planet. While some go without, others sustain their livelihoods by its production. And even others rarely think about where there food comes from; it is always just readily available. Despite these extremes, food is primarily a unifer. People learn about one another through the sharing of food. Appreciation for difference is cultivated too.Read these intelligent articles submitted by TIG members and submit your own for a chance to be featured in this issue during the months of June and July.
