Obiettivi di Sviluppo del Millennio

Did you know that you can put an end to extreme poverty? Want to know how?

The Millennium Development Goals are a commitment between rich and poor countries to eradicate dehumanizing conditions of extreme poverty. Supported by the United Nations Millennium Campaign and in partnership with the Global Youth Action Network we've created a monthly theme to inform you about the MDGs and inspire you to take action on them. On the theme page you can read detailed information about each of the Goals, learn how you can help achieve them, play our MDG Card Game, tell your friends about the Goals by sending one of our colorful MDG e-cards, and much more!

Global Gallery Contest - "Vision 2015: Your Future"

Imagine a world where poverty is halved, boys and girls everywhere go to school, gender disparities are eliminated, child mortality is reduced, and maternal health is improved. Imagine HIV/AIDS is halted and its spreading reversed, environmental resources are preserved and sustainable development becomes an everyday practice. All this achieved by the world's countries together, working unanimously for a better future. Is this just a daydream? No, this is the future envisioned by the United Nations and all its member states at the Millennium Summit in 2000, where the Millennium Development Goals were born.

As such, The Global Gallery, in partnership with Art4Development (Art4Development.net) and the Millennium Campaign, is proud to present: "Vision 2015: Your Future." What is your vision for the world in 2015? What will your country be like if the MDGs are realized? These are just some of the questions that you can address in your image. It's your future, your vision to question and answer in an image that can be about the world or about yourself - your hopes, your fears, anxieties, challenges, goals, and of course, your dreams.

Il concorso scade il 31 Maggio - entra oggi! Vai a: http://gallery.takingitglobal.org/contest
