Taking IT Global

Young People to be featured in the Global Youth Viewpoints Book.
Here is a great opportunity for young people to say what's on their minds and have their voices heard around the world. The Global Youth Viewpoints book is asking the same ten questions to youth (19 and under) around the world and collecting the responses. Here is a taste: What bothers you in your daily life? What practice best helps you stay calm? If there was one thing you could change about adults, what would it be? Check out the Discussion thread and ask someone you know to add their voice!
