Think/Act/Change

Our resources and Take Action Projects are designed using a Think, Act, Change learning cycle.

1. THINK: Students think critically about global issues and their role in the world. Download free classroom resources to help students learn about issues such as rights and responsibilities, hunger, poverty, safe water, emergency response and community development. Our resources promote global awareness and an understanding of sustainability and social justice.

2. ACT: Students act on new understanding. Our Take Action Projects are built around concrete actions students can take to make a difference. You’ll find tools and resources to help organize a fundraiser, put on an awareness event or speak out for change.

3. CHANGE: Students reflect on the changes they've made in their local or global community as well as changes in their perspectives, values and behaviours. Your class will have the opportunity to post a blog on the site to talk about the changes you’ve realized.
