Module 3

Turning Ideas into Action

Overview

In this module, students move from planning to action as they design and develop their own Creative Changemakers projects. Building on their earlier explorations, students reflect on their chosen issues and select the medium that best suits their message. They learn how to craft impactful messages by connecting personal stories with persuasive strategies, including the rhetorical triangle. Students also explore how to set meaningful, measurable goals to evaluate the impact of their work. The module culminates in students sharing their completed projects with their communities to advocate for change.
