what moves you? produced Global Voices, a traveling exhibit of photographs and interviews documenting how the UN’s big issues resonate with people around the world, on the occasion of the United Nations 2005 World Summit, the largest gathering of Heads of State to date.

Consequently, Global Voices travelled to the Aspen Design Summit, Dag Hammarskjold Plaza, Manhattanville College and other cultural and academic institutions.
Participating organizations included:Committee for Hispanic Children and Families (CHCF), Crystal Foundation, Grandparents Empowered Active Response (GEAR), Global Student Leadership (GSL), Global Youth Action Network (GYAN), Intergenerational Committee for the 58th Annual DPI/NGO Conference, Lehman College
