Over the years well over 300 schools and youth groups from 99 countries have participated in the Time Project all on a single day – Time Day.
During Time 2012 the Time participants from around the globe will learn about the Millennium Development Goals with a special focus on MDG 4 ‘Reduce Child Mortality Rates’ and MDG 8 ‘Develop a global partnership for development’. This year’s topics are child labour, animal experimentation, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender rights, youth violence and a global development through youth action and the arts.
“This is our Time” was originally initiated for the UNESCO Associated Schools Project and is organized by Time Project Headquarters in Canada in co-operation with Taking It Global for Educators whose mission is to empower youth to understand and act on the world’s greatest challenges.

Dear friends of the Time Project,
The next edition of the Time Project will be organised on Friday April 16 and Saturday April 17.
The topic will be: (ensure) Environmental Sustainability (MDG 7).
Think of ‘clean water’, ‘climate change’, (loss of) environmental resources’, ‘global warming’. And what can we do to make a difference today and for future generations?
Next to well-known activities such as videoconferencing and Unite the Nations, we will also be introducing a new activity: “Clean Water Day”. If you are interested to know more about this activity, please let us know and we will send you more detailed information.
We also warmly welcome any suggestions you might have regarding the Time Project.
Looking forward to our continued cooperation.
