What is it?

S4G, the un-mediated, not moderated social platform

Have you ever thought you have something to “express” with a social dimension but never had the opportunity to do it?

Then S4G is what you are looking for:

  • Open, unrestricted and easy to use
  • Three mediums to choose from: TEXT, VIDEO, PHOTO
  • A way to express your ideas, reflections and expertise, on social issues and broader development and society at large
  • You do not need to be an expert but just passionate about what you share

It is manifested in restricted access to health, education and other essential services and, too often, by the denial or abuse of other fundamental human rights. Let us listen to and heed the voices of people living in poverty. Let us commit to respect and defend the human rights of all people and end the humiliation and social exclusion..."

The 17th of October is the International Day for the eradication of Poverty, a UN special day, one of many, actually but i just found it out by chance reading a small article on a local day. The day should be of strategic importance but it seems no one really cares. Maybe because there are too many "special" days celebrated all over the world? Find some background info about the day.

Find here an interesting audio story based on studies from Brigham Young University according to which Loneliness and social isolation are just as much a threat to longevity as obesity. The effect occurs even for people who like to be alone. Lack of relationships is a bigger health risk for people under age 65.
