Project Description
Currently the most active network of Globaloria, My Global Life (www.MyGLife.org), is designed to help youth 13 and older:
1. Learn internet media technology and game-development skills;
2. Hone professional and life skills;
3. Experience positive virtual communication with other communities; and
4. Foster social change
Through an open architecture of websites and related wikis and blogs, MyGLife participants learn to analyze, design and build web-based games and simulations that address globally relevant and social issues of their choice and passion. Topics include climate change, ecology, water, community services, technology skills, peace and more.
