Remember
The contest is about making our children believe that CHANGE is POSSIBLE and that they can BE THE CHANGE.
Inspire the students and make them see that changing lives can be meaningful & fun and that through this process they can ‘be the change’.
Ask your children to engage with people and real issues that effect them directly – no matter how simple they may seem!
Let your children decide the project – elicit it from them rather than feed it to them! (‘Give someone a fish and you feed them for a day. Teach someone to fish and you feed them for a lifetime!’)
Help your children think beyond the ‘first answer’ (the most obvious solution) and guide them to include as many of their school mates in the act of creating change.
Help your children to think of change beyond ‘raising money’.
Help your children to document the process and record the number of people affected by the change. Children love making videos and most have easy access to simple video editing. Seeing their project on YouTube will be inspirational and rewarding.
