OneWorld UK

OneWorld.net is a global information network supporting communication media of the people, by the people and for the people - everywhere. Innovation is OneWorld UK's key contribution to the OneWorld Network -- innovating user-generated platforms for NGO and citizen-led social change: * for impoverished citizens in southern continents, we have innovated media that help them reduce their own poverty and suffering. Our aim is to trigger positive spirals of social change. * for citizens living in the north, we have innovated media that help them learn what life is really like for people in poor communities, and share ways of living that are more empathetic and sustainable for everyone on our planet. We also do our best to run our own organisation as a microcosm of a fair and sustainable world -- to "be the change we want to see in the world", as Gandhi put it.
