Project Leader
The Millennium Development Goals Tour
The Millennium Development
Goals (MDGs) Tour is a goodwill tour of Canadian and American business schools
sponsored by TalentedWomen.com. The
year 2007 marked the halfway date for achieving the MDGs and the tour was to
promote awareness and action on the United Nations Millennium Development Goals
(MDGs).
Graduate and undergraduate
business students were empowered to act locally - to make a difference to a
local charity such as food banks, shelters or other — and globally, by taking
action on one of the MDGs in support of developing countries. During each visit
the results of local activities and actions on MDGs were announced and posted to further empower students around North America and
beyond.
The MDG Tour was developed
by Wendy Kohler Boothman, Founder, TalentedWomen.com and Dr. Kirsty Duncan,
Adjunct Professor, University of Toronto.
“It is our hope that
participation in the Millennium Development Goals Tour will be rewarding and
inspiring, and will incite future business leaders to go beyond their legal
obligations, compliance issues, and take action on key issues—including
education, the environment, human health and poverty—that affect both their
local community and the world at large.”
