In some of the other learning experiences connected to civic and political engagement that we have completed together, we explored different skills and ideas that can be useful for becoming advocates for change.
We have identified issues that affect your communities and learned about specific networking and media tools to implement positive change.
Now, it is time to bring these ideas together and plan your own advocacy campaign from start to finish!
Create a write-up outlining an advocacy campaign you would like to run in your community. You can include the text you wrote in some of the previous learning experiences. For example, you might incorporate information about the issue that you want to address or an explanation about why a pop culture character you have chosen for your campaign aligns with your advocacy goals. Work together in small groups to brainstorm and develop your campaign plan. You will have 45 minutes to design your campaign.
Please answer the following questions:
Feel free to develop your ideas on the "Advocacy Campaign" handout or on a separate piece of paper.
Pass out the "Advocacy Campaign" handout to students.
Now, in pairs, you will share your advocacy campaign write-up. Talk with your partner about the aspect of your campaign that you are the most excited about!
Allow students 20 minutes to share their campaign.
Congrats!
