IB Community Theme : 2006-2009

“The idea of a community theme was conceived in 2006 and the first theme: 'sharing our humanity', was officially launched in April 2007 at the annual general meeting.

The theme, lasting three years, is intended to serve as a focus for the IB and IB World Schools, to capture the excellent initiatives that are already underway in many schools and encourage and inspire new activities, in and out of the classroom, around the following topics:

• The fight against poverty  

• Peace keeping, conflict prevention, and combating terrorism 

• Education for all 

• Global infectious disease 

• Digital divide  

• Natural disaster prevention and mitigation. “ [Source: IBO Website]
