Global Voices: a ponte de múltiplos olhares
Sempre fui um menino de coração inquieto, o silêncio de pequenas grandes histórias que observava no meu quotidiano, morriam e infelizmente se limitavam a memória dos que o viveram ou pelo espírito de partilha “boca a boca” dos sortudos que tiveram acesso a dita informação, um fenómeno recorrente em África....
This happens when you read Global Voices posts from 10 years ago
What could be inspiring from posts written 10 years ago about for an environment so changing like Internet? Did these posts get too old? Members of the GV community read those old posts and this is the result of such call.
I love Global Voices
I started in GV for the invitation of David Sasaki since February 2010. I have been an author and translator. Many satisfactions I had, including, I was part of the rejection of the Lleras Law that was intended to impose in Colombia the law about copyright. Also it helped to...
2014 and GV

My 2 Years with GV
I got to know GV just over two years ago, in the spring of 2012. I first came across the German version of GV while looking for volunteer translation opportunities with German. I filled in the form on the GV German site, and I still remember how excited I was...
An opportunity for others and myself
I wanted to write and express myself through others. I found GV searching in google. I knew I lacked journalism knowledge and I need it and still need a lot to learn. So I decided to contact Global Voices and see If I had any chance. I was surprise when...
