"A global citizen is someone who identifies with being part of an emerging world community, and whose actions contribute to building this community's values and practices." The Global Citizens Initiative (TGCI) is a portal that serves to connect, inspire and empower a community of active citizens to exchange ideas and propose actionable solutions to the challenges of today’s globalized world. We do this by fostering partnerships, providing advice, creating content and encourage our members to take steps to take action on global and local issues with the help and resources of a global community. TGCI's goal is to build a group of leaders who can promote the practice of global citizenship engagement and advocate for policies and programs that reflect the values of a world community. TGCI is a member organization where people can access information about global citizenship issues, engage in global development advocacy efforts, and build their skills as global citizenship leaders. TGCI stands for the following four principles: -There is an emerging world community with a shared set of values -People have the ability to think and act as global citizens, in addition to being citizens of their countries -People from around the world need opportunities to participate in the development of solutions to the growing number of global problems challenging the world community -Governance institutions that seek to address global problems need mechanisms that help ensure greater engagement with and accountability to the people they serve To learn more and to declare your Global Citizenship, visit our website: http://www.theglobalcitizensinitiative.org
