Social Citizens
JOIN THIS GROUP
Organized by JTNorton on 7/9/2008
Location: Washington, DC 20036
Are you someone who’s energetic and passionate about social causes? Do you have fresh and new ideas for solving our world’s most challenging problems? Are you armed with a mobile phone or a social network to make things happen? Then YOU are a Social Citizen. It’s true, the Millennial generation doesn’t like to be defined – but there’s a growing movement of Social Citizens who are mixing it up and using digital tools and people power to make change in their communities and around the globe. Does this sound like you or people you know? Then you’re in the right place, because this is the beginning of a discussion around Social Citizens BETA, a paper sponsored by the Case Foundation. Here you can debate the issues and help us answer the questions we raised about how new technologies and strategies can impact engagement and activism. Thanks for checking us out on thinkMTV, please join our group and let your voice be heard!
