Creating Awareness for a Global Issue

After researching a global issue of your choice, you must create an awareness campaign that will

persuade people to support your cause.

Think about ways that people and organizations generate awareness. Do they hold concerts, air

TV specials, or use advertising? Do they have runs, walks, or relays? Do they create billboard,

radio, or television ads or public service announcements? Do they create songs? Maybe they

hold competitions for the best poster? Or perhaps youve seen artistic exhibits in a city park or

labels on popular drinks.

Think about the issue that you have researched and how you can inform and persuade people to

support your cause. The project choice board below has a variety options that you can choose.

What is the message that you want to convey?

Who is your target audience?

Why should people care? How can everyday people help make a difference and support your cause?

What is your goal? How will you know when you are successful?

When will you launch your campaign? Why? Is a certain time of year better?

campaign credible? How could you get businesses to help support your campaign for free?
