You will learn to recognize the challenges that exist in your
school or community and to better understand them with reliable
information. The video and infographic "Be informed"
will give you keys to verify information and value the
importance of expressing yourself with respect.
This moment will help you understand that being well informed
strengthens your voice, your opinions, your decisions and,
therefore, strengthens democracy.
Let's continue in our forum: it is time to look carefully, inform
ourselves and discover together the challenges that surround us.
Step 3:
Think of a real challenge in your school or community that you want
to understand better.
Step4:
Spend some time getting to know your challenge better and make sure
you have data and voices to back it up.
Step5:Prepare the way you
can communicate the challenge you identified in a creative way:
dare to use an image, a digital poster, an audio, short video or
sentence with explanations and fonts.
Step 6: Post the challenge
you identified on
Wall 2: Research and understand the challenge.Don't
forget to clearly mention your name and which country, city or
community it is, so that those of us who participate from different
places can better understand your context.
Step 7: Engage by commenting
on other young people's posts, always with a respectful,
constructive, and collaborative tone.
Suggestions
for research:
Talk
to
someone in your community or school who knows about the topic.
Check
local news
, reports or programs that have focused on it.
Check official
data from public institutions, ministries, mayors' offices,
or schools.
Look
for similar experiences in other communities to
learn from.
Ask
your teachers or people with experience in the area.
Use the internet, but carefully: verify
that you consult reliable sites (public
institutions, universities, international organizations,
recognized social organizations, serious journalistic media).
Cross-reference information:
don't rely on a single source,
check several.
Always write down where you got the information from
(to give credit and have
evidence).
Confirm the veracity of the information of
pages or chains that
do not have a clear author, that use only opinions or that seek
to impact without data.
By understanding the challenges of our
school or community, we can think about how to contribute and participate.
