OUR VISION

OUR VISION

Established by a group of young Canadians from across the country, we came together precisely 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 in Action

    Defining GLOCAL

    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.
