CONTENT:
The BetterWorld Project offers more than 1000 free printable resources that address over fifty social issues such as conflict resolution, citizenship, human rights, ending world hunger, peace and volunteering for a better world. It is a project of We the World, a nonprofit educational organization based in New York City. |

SITE DESIGN:
The site is designed around a front page image map that offers five links: We Can Create a Better World, Better World Calendar, What’s your Better World Path, Better World Clubs, and Be a Hero for a Better World. Internal pages have a left side menu and navigating between the sections can be a little confusing. |
