Lil’ MDGs, Go Inspire Go, YSA, and Get Ur Good On, have teamed up 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 on several platforms: YSA, Go Inspire Go, Miley Cyrus’ “Get Ur Good On,”
the Huffington Post and Deepak Chopra’s Intent.

ONGOING: November 15, 2011 to January 9, 2012 (Midnight PST)

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!
