Where do we start?

While individual efforts are valuable, students can learn the skills of collaborating on civic issues by working together as a whole class. Here are the five broad steps they should follow:

1. Identify issues important in their lives and community, and decide on one to address.

2. Research the chosen issue and decide how to change or improve the situation.

3. Plan an action, including determining a goal for change; identifying who or what body in the community has power to make the change; and deciding how to approach that person or those people.

4. Carry out the action through letters, talks, meetings with officials, policy proposals, and activities, depending on the specific goals of the project.

5. Reflect on the effort when it is over in order to understand their successes, challenges, and ways to continue learning in the future.
