Reducing poverty by half by 2015. It sounded good in 2000. We are now over halfway, so it is a good time for reflection. According to the UN progress is still insufficient,  BUT achieving the Millennium Development Goals is still possible. However, there is lots of work to do and time is running out. It also appears that many people do not (really) know what the Millennium Development Goals are. Instead of attributing this to a lack of interest, we recognise that good information on this subject is essential for creating a broad support base for the MDGs.
It is in this context that this project has been set up: to contribute to achieving the MDGs by offering young people and their teachers more and better information and training regarding the MDGs.
The more people that know what the MDGs are, the more they will reflect about it and the more pressure they can exercise on their environment and their politicians to realise the 8 promises by 2015!
