Supporting and connecting youth engaged in actions of social change

New look for Indaba-Network!

Posted by on Apr 23, 2012 in Blog articles

Welcome to Indaba-Network’s new website!

We have improved the site in order to make it more dynamic and attractive and to better fulfill our mission: Supporting and linking youth groups engaged in projects for social change.

Our new website immediately highlights eight action paths that correspond to the challenges of today’s world. We call on the world’s youth to get involved with them:

  1. Horizons: travelling and meeting a broad range of people
  2. Planet: protecting the environment and supporting sustainable development
  3. Cultures: creating culture and embracing cultural diversity
  4. Health and welfare: advancing these fundamental human rights
  5. Liberating education: developing popular education
  6. Social economy: creating an economy at the service of man
  7. Glocal Citizenship: acting locally in reference to global issues
  8. Organizations and networks: developing new forms of organizations that are more participatory and democratic.

Our new website is built around four services that Indaba-Network offers to our readers and members:

  1. Support for projects:  Indaba-Network makes available a nine-step guide for youth groups interested in building a project.  Support includes help from our experts, an approach to securing financial support through our crowd funding system, and consulting services for projects already supported.
  2. IndabaXchange: our online community allows groups and individuals access to a network of experts and like-minded people who can help with project management as well as the development of valuable contacts throughout the world.
  3. The On-Line library: The library posts free educational and technical resources including dozens of fact sheets, booklets, and interactive videos.
  4. Seminars/Webinars:  Indaba-Network experts give online webinars in English, French and Spanish that offer training on various topics as well as analyses of the broader issues confronting today’s youth.

Also, The Indaba Network Blog complements these four services through regular posts of informative articles and discussions on the challenges of today’s world. Its perspective is “glocal”: thinking globally to make a difference locally.
