1WORLD-KIDS.COM - An online resource for kids. Created to deliver information for a global world.
We live in a truly global world where our actions directly affect the lives and livelihoods of others, but our teaching methods fail to teach our children about how our lives impact the lives of others.
1WORLD-KIDS believe that if we want to secure change, then we must first educate our children so that they have a greater understanding of the world they live in giving them the knowledge they need to make more informed choices
in their day-to day lives.
1WORLD-KIDS has been 5 years in the making, researching gathering and compiling news and information about the world and developing an online space that would be the foundation of our work.
The 1WORLD-KIDS website has been written to complement education and delivers a truly 'global' perspective to climate change and the world. Helping children recognise that everything we do has consequences and that by making simple
changes to the way we live our lives, that we may just help save the life of another.
We believe that it is time for us all to consume less, appreciate more, take time to give thanks for all that we have and learn compassion for all those that have nothing, not because of who they are, but simply because of where
they live.
Our children deserve an opportunity to grow and live whilst having the knowledge they need to help them make more informed choices that will help them secure a brighter future not just for us but for all of mankind...
Nelson Mandela said,
"Education is the greatest weapon we can use to change the world."
And that is exactly what we aim to do, one child at a time.
BECAUSE TOGETHER WE CAN… A CAMPAIGN FOR CHANGE
Because Together We Can is a springboard for long-term, positive change, your support will help us take the first giant step forward, a step that will help us deliver joined-up education for all.
Launching the 1WORLD-KIDS art competition will help us engage with out target audience, and bring children together. The 1WORLD-KIDS art competition will invite children (8-15) to get creative and design the official 1WORLD-KIDS
t-shirt.
The entries will all feature in an online gallery and each design can be voted for by the public. The winning designs will go on to become part of the 1WORLD-KIDS Because Together We Can Exhibition that we plan to host in public
spaces and libraries, (using copies of the designs) and with fact boards and information boards adding to the overalls effect.
The winning design in each age category will be made into the 'official' 1WORLD-KIDS 2014 t-shirt. The winning entries and top designs will also be used the 1WORLD-KIDS photo journal and stationery helping us to extend our reach
and help deliver joined up education to more children across the globe.
Join Us, Because Together We Can...
With children at the heart of everything we do we will also be looking to develop our core site to include a community forum so children can begin to share stories about their lives and develop into an online
community for common good.
The 1WORLD-KIDS Because Together We Can Campaign, will see our website being translated into Spanish, Punjabi and Mandarin helping us to break down the barriers of language and helping us to create a platform for global education helping to empower children
everywhere to be the change.
We will also use 'Because Together We Can' to help us develop a comprehensive direct marketing strategy that we can use to take the 1WORLD-KIDS monthly newsletters into schools and libraries everywhere.
If we are fortunate enough to secure all our funding we will be able to successfully launch and sell our first book all the profits raised would be used to help us launch our, children's fund raising campaign.
"It just takes 5 " will invite children across the globe to raise 5.00 £ $ or Euros however they want and nominate charities that they want their money to support this would become an annual event.
We believe that by working together we can secure a much needed change that will not just be good for us but will be good for all of mankind.
