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.

Little actions = BIG results!


This month on Get Involved on TVO, you’ll be meeting Paul Edney – a guy who helped start a movement in Canada to help change the world, one small action at a time.
You don’t think small actions make a difference? It’s the sum total of all those small things, multiplied by the number of people doing them that translate into BIG ACTIONS.
It’s just simple math!
And it’s simple to get started! Here are 7 little things for you to do…
1. First, watch Paul’s video on Get Involved
2. Check out his website “We Are What We Do
3 Select one of the 130 small things you can do to make a difference
4. Add your results to the actions of others
5. Tell a friend, to tell a friend, to tell a friend…
6. See how it all adds up!
7. Congratulate yourself – you’re helping to change the world!
