#IAM821 PHOTO CAMPAIGN
ABOUT THE PHOTO CAMPAIGN
The 821 Project promotes global citizenship in the local south Louisiana community by providing intercultural and social justice education programming. To be a global citizen means to assume an active role to resolve issues and challenges in our world, including our own communities. It also means working to create a more inclusive and peaceful world for all people. We can all be global citizens by teaching, volunteering and serving as activists. Traveling to experience other cultures is also a form of global citizenship.
We are launching a photo campaign titled #IAm821. This photo campaign is designed to highlight the many ways that members of our local community are showing global citizenship and raising awareness of other cultures and social issues taking place in the world. What can you do to make lives better and improve your local and global community?
This photo campaign lasts until December 31, 2017.
