It is the desire to create a world where no child knows war that motivates War Child Canada. We believe that educators have a critical role to play in the mission to ensure that children are no longer victims of war. In The War Child Canada Youth Opinion Poll released in May 2006, 75% of Canadian youth cited teachers as one of their most important sources of information on global issues. We respect the vital role played by teachers in shaping new generations, inspiring, informing and empowering youth to become responsible global citizens.

get loud aims to make it as easy as possible for educators to bring global issues into the classroom. We believe that a project that brings together solid, tested lesson plans with a global education philosophy and a pedagogical framework will help teachers to achieve this.

get loud is an initiative that brings to life our commitment to education and empowerment. It is a manifestation of our desire to promote and protect human rights and children’s rights, to rekindle the strong belief in peace and possibility, to foster global awareness and concern, and to encourage the need to get loud and get involved in global movements for justice.
