To coincide with TEDxChange - a programme of local, self-organised events that bring people together to, for example, use video and live speakers to spark discussion and connection in a small group - and the tenth anniversary of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), this participatory communication initiative involves asking citizens to use technology to address the question: What is the future we will make?

Communication Strategies

This initiative involves the use of printed material (in the form of a sign created by each individual participant) and technology (photography to capture the person holding the sign highlighting an MDG issue, as well as upload to the internet) to help put a personal face on some of the world's most pressing issues. Participants were asked to follow these 4 steps:

Download [PDF] and print the sign.
Personalise the sign with a message. (The sign had to relate to one of the MDGs.)
Upload the photo(s) to the Foundation's Flickr group.
Join the conversation on the Foundation's Community Page.

Development Issues

Economic Development, Education, Environment, Gender, Health, HIV/AIDS, Global Partnership.
