Moment 3: Be proactive and get involved

momento 1 

What will you learn at this time?

You will learn that your voice can become a proposal. The video and infographic "Promote the Common Good" will show you how empathy, cooperation, and responsibility make an individual idea become collective.

You will discover that proposing a change is also a way to participate in democracy and to add to the well-being of all.

Now that you've identified a challenge, it's time to propose a change. Here we go from observing to imagining collective solutions.

  • Step 1: Watch the video "Promote the Common Good".

  • Step 2: Check out the infographic "Promote the Common Good".

  • Step 3: Revisit the challenge you identified in Moment 2 and posted on the Wall 2: Research and understand the challenge.

  • Step 4: Design a realistic and creative proposal that can be promoted collectively. Don't forget to check:

    • What solutions have already been tried in your community or in others for a similar challenge?
    • What people or resources can you turn to achieve this?
  • Step 5: Prepare your proposal in a clear and attractive way. To dig deeper, think about these questions:

    • What aspect of the challenge do you want to transform?

    • Who would benefit from this change and how?

    • What concrete actions can be carried out from your school or community?

    • What resources, people, or spaces already exist that can support your idea?

    • What results do you expect in the short and long term?

  • Step 6: Choose the way you are going to present it:

    • Adapted image or digital poster with your solution idea.

    • Drawing or photo accompanied by a short text.

    • Audio or short video where you explain your proposal.

  • Step 7: Post your proposal on the Wall 3: Be proactive and get involved. Don't forget to point out who could join (students, teachers, families, neighbors, authorities) and how. Make sure you 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.

Each proposal you share is a way to add your voice and show that youth participation strengthens common life.
