TACK's Corporate Social Responsibility in promoting social change
05/12/2009 -


In December 2009, after a successful training programme on the reduction of violence in Soweto / Johannesburg for sports' coaches and 1'400 children with Get the Point Foundation (GTP), TACK Training in Switzerland entered into a formal agreement with this foundation to spread the reach of social change through TACK Partners across the world.

 

Get the Point Foundation is a successful international youth education and leadership initiative promoting social change. Their objectives are to inspire, motivate and engage young people in positive action and to reduce youth violence, enabling the next generation to understand how good leadership can make a difference and how they, too, can become leaders and role models themselves.
The origin of Get the Point Foundation is the Non-Violence Project which was launched sixteen years ago. Their signature logo is the well known ‘Non- Violence’ sculpture - the gun with a knotted barrel. It was originally created in 1980 by the Swedish artist Carl Fredrik Reuterswärd as a memorial tribute to John Lennon, after he was shot and killed in New York City.
Today the ‘Non-Violence’ symbol is featured prominently at more than thirty prestigious public locations including major museums, the UN headquarters in New York, the Olympic Museum in Lausanne as well as in Cape Town, Beijing, Miami, Curitiba, Stockholm, Berlin, Honolulu, Madrid, Washington, Paris and Moscow.

Get the Point's track record speaks for itself. Close to five million students, teachers and sports coaches around the world have taken part in one or more of our education programmes. The content has been proven to work and is well documented. Their various initiatives have won more than seventy awards for Best Practice. 
In 2001 President Bill Clinton honored its mission with a Presidential Daily Light Award.
