YSA has partnered with Go Inspire Go, and Lil’ MDGs to bring you GIG Spark: A Lesson on Compassion. We’re inviting YOU and your community (school, organization, friends etc.) to use your passion and creativity to produce a “GIG Spark” and inspire viewers with your video.
WHAT: USE TECHNOLOGY AS LESSON on COMPASSION
A “GIG Spark” is a short 1-1:30 minute video that inspires viewers to take action and help others after they’ve watched the video. The video will feature you showing and telling viewers what you want them to do and show it on video. It’s simple, quick and can generate inspiration for others! The goal: a fun, easy way to inspire action.
WHERE: Use this as a teaching and communications tool in your networks or platform: your school, classroom, or organization, in your home, anywhere where you can spark some creativity and inspiration – then share it on our platforms to be seen around the world. Your video (select videos) may also appear several platforms; YSA, Go Inspire Go, Lil’ MDGs and Miley Cyrus’s Get Ur Good On website, the Huffington Post and Deepak Chopra’s Intent.com.
WHEN: Please send an email and your YouTube video link for Go Inspire Go's review between 11/15/11 - 01/09/12 (Midnight PST) to gigspark@goinspirego.com. They will contact you if they share it on their platforms.
WHY: Inspiration can be fun and infectious! We believe in the power of small acts and using technology to crowdsource ideas, capture it on video, spread the word online, and inspire immediate action. We know that people (especially youth) care and want to do something good for others, but just don’t know how. So why not teach compassion to kids and adults in your life? This is a quick way for you to use your power to spark civic engagement and inspire a small ripple of kindness that will create a domino effect.
We can’t wait to see inspiring acts popping up all over the state, country, and world!
