GlobalAware is founded on the premise that all humans and the natural world in which they live are interconnected and interdependent. It has become obvious that we rely on a healthy global environment for our survival and that we share collective responsibility to that environment and to one another in the pursuit of a sustainable and dignified human future. We believe that there is no disconnection between environmental and human rights and that social justice is environmental justice.

We seek to bring that message to Canadians and provide them with concrete outlets for active global citizenship. GlobalAware uses innovative media and a wide network of international information resources to educate and inspire Canadians to act for a better common future. Our focus is Canada's role in North-South relations and the consequences of that role for people and our environment here and around the world. We are part of a wide network of people and organizations working to improve our individual and collective contribution to global justice.

We are a small but incredibly diverse organization. We combine expertise in alternative media with a commitment to raising awareness of social and environmental justice issues. Our text, photo and video databases have become a resource and indispensable tool for activists and organizations from around the world. Our media professionals produce exhibitions, websites and media material to raise awareness on some of the most important issues of our time. Much of this work is contributed on a voluntary basis. We believe that only cooperation and collaboration throughout the social justice community will lead to real change and a sustainable future. If you would like to contribute or volunteer please use the get involved link above.

For the past four years GlobalAware Independent Media has worked towards environmental justice and social change in Canada and abroad. Our focus is Canada's role in North-South relations and the consequences of that role for people and our environment here and around the world. Our goal is to inspire people to become active citizens and we aim to achieve this by providing them with the tools to learn, engage, and act. The GA cooperative is open to everyone wishing and willing to work towards a healthier, more sustainable and just future. People power has always been an important determinant of the cooperative’s success. We rely strongly on the committed efforts of volunteers to develop new streams of actions for the cooperative whilst providing support to our existing programs and campaigns. Joining the GA team means working towards pressing and important causes while delving deeper into an understanding of how action can amount to change.
