The 21st Century Citizen. How do we Get Involved Today?

For the past ten years my partner at qmedia solutions and I have been doing a lot of pro bono work for a number of not-for-profits and charities. We've really enjoyed it but we wanted to do more. First we wanted to tell stories about some of the amazing people who had inspired us. And so we started with TV storytelling and on October 26th Get Involved had it's World Premiere on TVO-- Ontario's premiere public broadcaster. So far we have produced 25 profiles of amazing innovators, social entrepreneurs and activists. Take a look at our stories. Tell us what you think. Tell us about people or organizations that inspire you. During our research we sensed a growing movement growing all around us-- people realizing their skills and their expertise can be used not only to bring them financial rewards but deeper connection and meaning in their lives. And so our next step was to concieve of a website that would transform the inspiration of the television profiles and help propell people into action and Getinvolved.ca was born. Join the conversation...

THE LAUNCH OF Getinvolved! NEWS


CHECK OUT the first installment of Getinvolved! News.
On Feb. 27th we attended the launch of USNOW a film about the power of Web2.0 to drive social and political change. The event hosted by Volunteer Toronto and whiz Celina Agaton was a sold out success. Curious minds from the not-for-profit sector including rabble.ca, taking it global, united way, and techno guru Don Tapscott all attended and spoke to our roaming reporter Anastasia Trofimova.
I encourage you go to our WATCH site and check out the video. I think it will fuel your interest in this exciting wiki WEB2.0 world.
