Where is I ACT?
• At home, where I live and where I share my concerns
with my family
• At school, where I learn, share with my friends and
implement the project with my teachers
• In my city, where my family works, where I shop, find
entertainment and interact with the local community
• In my region and in my country, where decisions are
made for large numbers of people
• In Europe and beyond, where millions of people with
different cultures can act together
• On line, where I can show what I do, meet people
and share the developments of our project

Investigation
“The big picture”
Find out and summarise information using all the means,
technologies and people available to you at school, at
home, in your area, your city and beyond.
• What is climate change about?
• What does biodiversity mean?
• What cultures and faiths is my world made
of? Why is it like this?

Analysis
“From the issue to our issue”
1.
Design a questionnaire to find out what
aspect of your issue concerns most people
around you
2.
Together with your group, try to understand
why this aspect is so important
3.
Focus on this aspect from now on

Changes
“Improve our common future”
•
Work out a list of concrete priorities:
What are we going to do?
What changes would we like to see?
What is our message?
•
Organise and plan an action:
When, where and how will we do it?
Will we do this with the other classes?
Who will be invited?

Transfer
‘I act!”
Now is time for action, it is time to tell
the school, your families, the city, the
region and the country about what we
have done.
Use and learn to use communication tools
and spread the word around you.
