Calgary Centre for Global Community

Calgary Centre for Global Community (CCGC) provides education, engagement and research opportunities to enhance and expand Calgarians' capacity for responsible, well-informed, effective global citizenship. Our work recognizes the inter-connectedness of local and global issues and their impact on the well-being of our communities.

CCGC also acts as the umbrella organization for Humainologie, an international, multi-media production house. Humainologie works to increase human connectedness. We believe that by developing self awareness, sharing human stories, and increasing our capacity for dialogue and empathy with each other, we will create a more humane global community.

Calgary Centre for Global Community aspires to build a grassroots movement of people and civil society organizations who are capable of bringing about extraordinary positive change through informed and sustained civic engagement.
