Advocate for peace through intercultural interaction and dialogue, Elliott strives to remind the world of the fact that despite appearances to the contrary, it is one humanity. He argues that only when we will realize that we are all part of this great human family sharing the same planet, will we be able to make the compromises needed to sustainable change. He has been promoting this idea through the ongoing fight for Climate Justice as well as through international youth summits such as One Young World, where he was asked to speak on interfaith dialogue and peace between cultures and religions. In early 2010, Elliott founded ItsOneHumanity.org. Throughout 2010, he led an international team of young people working on the Global Visual Petition Project for Climate Justice at UNFCCC where over 1,600 personal messages for climate justice were collected from all over the world to lobby governments to make decisions on climate not just for the benefit of a select few, but for the better of humanity as a whole. The project was displayed at the 16th Conference of Parties of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in December 2010. After having volunteered in development programmes in both East Africa and South Asia, Elliott and his team at ItsOneHumanity.org launched The Humanitarian Social Network on February 5th 2011 to turn provide a space where humanitarians can meet to educate each other, share their work, connect & act upon pressing issues for the better of humanity as a whole. Elliott strives to fulfill his vision of a world that knows no boundaries and collectively confront global issues as one humanity.
