The Global Lives Project uses visual media as a platform to reach a global audience to cultivate the ethic of global citizenship and cross-cultural empathy. Global Lives is driven by a volunteer artist collective of 1000+ filmmakers and translators working to build a video library of human life experience by videotaping 24 continuous hours in the lives of individuals around the world with the goal of inspiring, educating and empowering audiences. Over 100,000 viewers from 159 countries have experienced the work of the Global Lives Project at our exhibitions and screenings, on our website and DVDs, and in classrooms.
