Community, Media, Arts, Sports, Environment and Health, with a
main focus on children and youth.
Globalnet
is the result of continuous cooperation among more than forty
world organizations, and aims to empower individuals involved
with peace projects, communities, cultural centers, and
networks, who, through the exemplarity of their actions, can
teach and indicate practical ways to contribute to the humanity
transformation process. It focuses on the vision embodied in
each project and initiative and on the strength that comes from
the collective learning process.
