Project Announcement:
Announce the start of “Social Project” and the plan-
Day 1(today) students will work together to identify one problem that their school/college/society/community/town is facing
Day 2: students will work on the solution
Day 3: students will present the solution in class
Day 4: Students will be given time to execute that solution
Announce the things to consider-
-
Project should be executable on Day 4 (examples- they can decide to spend some time in the old age homes, or they can decide to deliver an interesting session to students in nearby school or to their juniors, they can decide to renovate an area in their campus to make it better)
-
Each group will make notes to give it a shape of a small project report at the end of the project
-
Groups have to keep the learnings from the previous sessions in mind to make it a collaborative effort for a common goal

Activity:
-
Let students work on identifying the problem

They can discuss with the trainer, call other people or do some research to find out the problem
-
Encourage them to use creative methods of making the problem statement real and objective. Give them examples of doing surveys or focused group discussions to identify the most common problems
-
Roam around and help students process their own thoughts well. Don’t give them ideas but help and encourage them to be innovative and specific with their thoughts
-
Close the activity by telling them that they have to present the problem statement in front of the class in the next session. If they want to do any survey, they should do that before the next session
