In this activity, students view Community Action Project presentations created by former Global Scholars and other young people. They reflect on the projects to get ideas for their Community Action Project and brainstorm solutions to challenges they may encounter. We will look at what kind of project your international peers did in the past and how they presented it to get more ideas for our CAP.
