Project Partners
With the wide range of topics covered in Change that Clicks, TakingITGlobal developed several partnerships with organizations that serve young people and hold issue-based expertise. This collaboration has ensured that current information and opportunities are being shared with participants in engaging ways. Participants are also granted exposure to initiatives that are positively affecting change in communities across Canada and abroad.
These organizations are committed to participating in Change That Clicks sessions as guest speakers onsite for in-person presentations OR presentations can take place online using the live chat tool.
Supporting Partners
The Boys and Girls Clubs of Canada (BGCC) has played an essential role in the development and 2007-2009 implementation of the Change That Clicks program. As part of BGCC’s CanTech initiative, supported by Microsoft and the Unlimited Potential Community Technology Skills Program, local Clubs have strengthened their commitment to providing youth with the opportunities they need to further their skill set with a focus on media literature, technology and internet safety. The program combines technology and social based issues to actively engage youth and create awareness of the global issues currently affecting the rest of the world. Change That Clicks also provides both the skills and mechanisms necessary to take positive action on these emerging issues as well as it provides the necessary tools to safely use information and communication technologies.
