Dive into the heart of youth-driven civic engagement with the GLOCAL Foundation of Canada's CANConnect Microgrant recipients. Through the lens of our dedicated youths, witness firsthand the transformative impact of their projects, fueled by the support of GLOCAL Foundation of Canada's CANConnect Microgrant Project. From facilitating community enhancements to leading innovative social reforms, these young leaders embody the spirit of creativity, passion, and determination.
Established by a group of young Canadians from across Canada, we came together because we were asking questions about Canadian democracy and how to be civically engaged – and decided to do something about it. All of us are learning about digital civic engagement and democratic literacy even as we promote it through our web portal and various online activities.
GLOCAL is a national not-for-profit organization that promotes digital civic engagement through local participation and global understanding in Canada.
We seek to promote digital citizenship, youth engagement, information accessibility and civic knowledge mobilization in Canada.
Our digital initiatives and community outreach strive to improve the infrastructure and accessibility of public information in an effort to combat misinformation, information overload, and low-information rationality in the digital age.
Ottawa, 26 June 2023 – GLOCAL Foundation of Canada is delighted to announce the appointment of Dr. Laura Stephenson and Dr. Fred Cutler as charter members of its Board of Directors.
GLOCAL is a term that combines the words "global" and "local" and refers to the concept of thinking and acting both globally and locally. The term is often used in the context of business, politics, and culture, and reflects the idea that the world is becoming increasingly interconnected and interdependent.
In social and political contexts, the GLOCAL approach emphasizes the importance of global awareness and local engagement in addressing public concerns such as climate change, poverty, and inequality. It involves creative problem-solving that takes into account the unique needs and conditions of local communities while also recognizing the global perspectives of these issues.
The GLOCAL approach also recognizes the need to balance the benefits of globalization with the potential negative impacts on local communities and the environment. This can involve a focus on sustainable development, social responsibility, and ethical practices.
Overall, the GLOCAL concept emphasizes the importance of finding a balance between global and local perspectives in order to create a more interconnected and sustainable world.
