To be a citizen means to be a member of the human race. future depends on global citizens who will make the most important issues like poverty, gender inequality or climate change become solvable. Poverty is the result of things made or not made by corrupt governments who do not care about the problems that society faces.

Community development should be driven by communities themselves, although charity is necessary, it is not enough to solve those global issues. A sustainable movement is needed, that is, citizens taking action to put pressure on their leaders to think about and give solutions to social demands.

Fortunately, we live in an age where every single voice can be heard because citizens have more tools, more access to information and more capacity to influence than before. It is important to look beyond our borders in order to reach the best solutions and behave as global citizens.
