It is an honor to be recognized as a White House Champion of Change for my work with ProjectExplorer.org promoting cross-cultural understanding. Over the last decade, I have been an advocate for global citizenship. I believe that global awareness is a critical 21st century skill, yet this topic is nearly absent from the national dialogue on education.
My global education began in 2000, while travelling in Asia on assignment for an investment bank. I began ProjectExplorer.org in 2003 to provide “virtual passports,” especially to those for whom travel is simply not possible. I hope that this honor, and the attention it brings to ProjectExplorer.org, encourages more teachers to incorporate global themes in their everyday lessons. ProjectExplorer.org. What is a Global Citizen? March 19, 2014 poverty, birth mortality, children, environment The fight for justice has never been easy.
But human history has always been shaped by the courageous actions taken by those with a vision of a better world. From the civil rights movement to the end of Apartheid, people with a belief in a better world have sparked and spread their passion for progress to families, communities and countries across the globe, building justice movements that have changed society forever.
As Global Citizens, we stand against the greatest injustice of our time: extreme poverty. As Global Citizens we celebrate the efforts made to cut extreme poverty by half, but recognise more still needs to be done. We don't ask for charity, we ask for justice.

FuturICT FET Flagship. Answering the Two Most-Asked Questions About the Internet of Everything #IoE. Since Cisco began discussing the Internet of Everything (IoE) last year, two questions have arisen consistently: 1) What is the difference between IoE and the Internet of Things (IoT)?
According to Cisco, IoE brings together people (humans), process (manages the way people, data, and things work together), data (rich information), and things (inanimate objects and devices) to make networked connections more relevant and valuable than ever before—turning information into actions that create new capabilities, richer experiences, and unprecedented economic opportunity for businesses, individuals, and countries.
To better understand this definition, it is helpful to take a quick look at the evolution of the Internet. In the early 1990s, devices connected to the Internet were essentially “fixed.” For example, you went to your desk to use your PC, dumb terminal, or other device.
