#GlobalCitizen
"No matter our age, our actions can affect and contribute to the world, and we share a destiny with all humankind. Global citizens fight for sustainability, are culturally aware, understand the importance of communicating across cultures and often speak another language, and take action on injustice around the world. Now more than ever, when our global community is so intricately connected, how can parents and teachers introduce this concept and teach global citizenship at home and school?"
- Becky Morales, Kid World Citizen
"Be the change you wish to see in the world."
- Gandhi
In today's adventure, Kid President explores people's different ideas about how to make the world better. What do you think is the best way to change the world?
"You? You're awesome. You were made that way. You were made from love, to be loved, to spread love. Love is always loud."."
- Kid President

"I created the very first Kid President video in July of 2012 out of the simple belief that kids have voices worth listening to.
For years, my family and I have been working to create things in an effort to help shape the way kids see the world and the way the world sees kids. This was just a continuation of that work. [...]
As Kid President says, "Love changes everything. So fill the world with it." "

"I became Ambassador of Nutopia in June 2009, Montreal, when I visited a mind-blowing, heart-melting exhibition at Montreal Museum of Fine Arts: IMAGINE: The Peace Ballad of John and Yoko.
As Ambassador of Nutopia, I wish to share a collection of beautiful words from all languages, religions and spiritualities around the World... and accross the Universe. May these magic words be found in every mouth, in every heart, on every Wish Tree.
If you wish to contribute to this "Beautiful Words to Make Peace on Earth" project, please email me through the contact form at the bottom of this page. If there is any publication rights issue, please send me an email - not a lawyer. I put all this together in good faith within the Declaration of Nutopia spirit for World Peace."
