Dear Friends,
I have something to share with you today. Actually I am very touched with the NGOs who are working for the betterment of youth. I thought of putting it into my blog so that the interested group can Join the movement of Taking on giant.
I appeal to all to visit the site http://www.takingonthegiant.com/ and like Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/TakingOnTheGiant.
Here is a brief note about Taking on the giant.
Taking
on the Giant is a blog promoting, celebrating and encouraging the work
and accomplishments of young change makers and entrepreneurs from around
the world. Young people are transforming their passions into successful
charities, foundations, businesses and movements from a young age. These
are stories that deserve to be told. By sharing these stories, we aim
to inspire other young people to pursue their dreams and passions and
turn them into reality. To date, the blog has over 100 stories of
incredible young change-makers, from Africa to Australia and the US to
China, who are fundamentally shaping their fields of interest.
The
blog supports and promotes the developing shift in education focused on
the promotion of student entrepreneurship and creativity. It intends to
be a resource for teachers across the globe. It has already been used
in Germany and France with great results. Taking on the Giant is
currently working to be part of the core curriculum being implemented
across the U.S.
In
order to encourage young people to pursue their dreams as well as
develop their entrepreneurs and creative skills, Taking on the Giant not
only publishes articles on amazing young people, but also lists
opportunities, trainings, contests and funding available to youth.
On
the long-term, the blog hopes to contribute to a shift in the
understanding of employment, from the one currently geared toward simply
finding a job and being employed to one in which individuals create
their own workplace. At the same time, it aims to provide alternative
role models to rock stars and athletes in the shape of these young,
creative, driven, intelligent and generous young entrepreneurs and
changemakers, who are working to better our world.
