MDGs- Only with your voice
is a project to create awareness about the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) among the Youth that makes them able to achieve it as it only possible with their voices. We do our project throught Internation Eduaction and Reources Network (iEARN).

Activity (A): Workshop
All the schools that are working on MDGs project have to do this activity (This activity for all the project themes).
Each iEARN team (Teachers and Students) have to conduct a workshop about MDGs in general and about their theme to their class mates.
The aim of this activity is to create awareness about Millennium Development Goals and let their fellows know that:
- What are MDGs?
- Where they have come from?
- What are their Aims?
- How they are interrelated to our lives?
Activity (B):
It’s time to "Capture MDGs”
It’s we youth who have a huge responsibility toward achieving those MDGs, so it’s time to loud our voice. Through "Capture MDGs" you’ll choose a goal(s) that are highly needed in your community and you’ll start capturing the problems, introduce solutions and then you start using your creativity to let your voice be heard through a photo gallery or video about your chosen goal(s). Also, it’s your role to publish your results to the widest audience as much as you can (school, town, iEARN community …etc)
Activity (C):
It’s the time for the students to share in the community services and initiatives, team members will discuss and find out together what they can do to help out their local communities
