What do you care about most? What do you think is important for people to know ? What problems to you wish someone would solve ? What have you seen that inspires you ?
Why are we doing this ? This journey is a prerequisite for the Gold Award.
Frequently girls have a hard time choosing an issue, this is a challenge to you to look inside & examine what matters to you. My favorite part of the page is the wide variety of things girls contribute. Look at what is already there. Are those things that motivate you ?
Between session # 2 & 3 Take Action Project / Create-it art project
Identify three issues that you may choose to do for your Take Action Project . Write them down & bring the list.
Next session you will be starting your Create-it Art project. The project can be done alone or in groups of your choosing.
