  I Am Making A Difference (2012)

  The theme for IDW 2012 is I Am Making A Difference and the focus is the Empowerment of Women and Girls. MCIC has produced nine video profiles of Manitobans from all walks of life who are contributing their time and effort to take action as global citizens.

  From middle year students to seniors, women and men in urban and rural Manitoba demonstrate that everyone can make a difference in the lives of others. Their actions, such as raising awareness at school events, promoting cooperatives in the developing world and teaching sustainable farming methods, are helping to create a brighter future where women and girls have access to food, education, health care and are able to support themselves economically.

  I Am Making A Difference (2011)

  For IDW 2011, MCIC has profiled eight young Manitobans who reflect a broad spectrum of involvement and participation. Through actions that range from buying Fair Trade products and educating school students to volunteering overseas and studying International Development, these eight people demonstrate how everyone has the potential to contribute.

  Be the Change (2010)

  In celebration of International Development Week 2010, MCIC embarked on a province-wide search for outstanding Young Global Citizens. There were so many to choose from! We found youth all over the province who are taking action as global citizens and using their energy and passion to make our world a better place. While some travel overseas to lend a hand, others realize that their everyday actions here in Manitoba can have a positive effect around the world.
