WHAT IS THE TITLE OF MY
ADVOCACY CAMPAIGN?
- Advocacy campaigns have the potential to make a tangible difference in the lives of everyday people. But whether it’s targeting a specific piece of legislation or bringing attention to an under-addressed issue, a well-run advocacy campaign doesn’t happen overnight.
WHAT IS A SPECIFIC PROBLEM
IN MY COMMUNITY/SCHOOL?
- Everyone worries about things that happen at school from time to time. Lots of people, like you, will experience something difficult or have to work through a problem during school.
- There’s a lot of pressure to get good results, make lots of friends, do well in every subject and be a ‘good student’. These stresses during school can sometimes feel too much. The important thing is to recognise when there’s a problem and ask for help as soon as you can.
- Some school problems you might worry about include:
- finding schoolwork difficult, or having problems concentrating in class if others are noisy and disruptive
- Exam Stress
- tricky relationships with friends and friendship groups
- finding lunchtime difficult, particularly if you have eating problems, anorexia or bulimia
- not getting on with teachers, or feeling like you are labelled as ‘trouble’
- Bullying
WHAT SOLUTION CAN BE
IN SOLVING THE PROBLEM?
- Your proposed solution should relate the current situation to a desired result and describe the benefits that will accrue when the desired result is achieved. So, begin your proposed solution by briefly describing this desired result.
WHO ARE THE PEOPLE
INVOLVED?
- Friends
- Bully’s
- Co-worker
- Boss
WHAT FACTS DO I NEED TO
GATHER?
- Some means of gathering data are:
- define key terms
- articulate assumptions
- discuss the problem with someone else
get the viewpoint of others
use the five whys
- The five whys consist of asking a series of questions about a problem until a cause that can be resolved is found. The more whys you ask about a problem, the closer you get to finding the cause.
- Example:
- I can’t teach. Why?
- The students are too noisy. Why?
- They are talking to each other. Why?
- The subject is not keeping their interest. Why?
- They don’t know how it will affect their lives now and later. Why?
- No one has shown them or told them.
