GLOBE Presents a New Documentary Series: Agents of Change – Videos Now Available
We, at the GLOBE Implementation Office (GIO), believe that large global stories, such as the all-encompassing story of The GLOBE Program, can often be told best by narrowing the lens to focus on an individual or individuals who exemplify the best efforts of our community. These are the people whose dedication and good work make an impact on a community; “multipliers” who spread the work of GLOBE and encourage others to have an impact.
With funding from our program sponsor, NASA; story guidance and series coordination from the GIO; logistical support from GLOBE community members; our talented crew; and the delightful participation of the “stars” of these films, we bring you:
Agents of Change
