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.
