HORIZON International Solutions Clubs - Global

Region

Programme Summary


The purpose of the Clubs is to join people together in cooperation with HORIZON to find, encourage and develop solutions to problems in health, environment, population, and development that exist throughout the world and to help empower children, youth, young professionals, and others through their participation as HORIZON Solutions Site users, interns, research fellows and volunteers.

Communication Strategies



The nature of the Clubs is participatory development through communication.

Development Issues



Anything that comes up in discussions through the HORIZON Solutions Site or Solutions Site for Kids. Focus is on empowerment of children and youth.

Key Points



Working with more than 130 other organisations, HORIZON makes available the knowledge of peer-reviewed solutions via the use of different forms of media (television, Internet) so that the solutions may be economically replicated wherever they may be necessary or useful. The solutions are for the benefit of people of all ages, from industrial leaders to micro-entrepreneurs, from agricultural experts to small scale farmers, from wildlife preservationists to marine ecologists, from public health workers to family planning experts, from government decision makers to educators, and from young children to the elderly.The Club initiative's main aim is to further increase HORIZON's effectiveness in its outreach through the HORIZON Solutions Site, the HORIZON Solutions Site Kids of All Ages feature of the Site, television programs and other multimedia outreach, participation in international conferences and seminars and its participation with organizations, museums, educational institutions, and other entities.

Partners
