Through the program youth from all over will ideate and brainstorm ways in which they can bring the change they wish to see into their communities. With a regular virtual meetings we will share perspectives, improve initial ideas, and create an action strategy to turn our ideas into projects that lead to a regenerative planet.


The iAct course harnesses the ideas and knowledge from Ocean Climate Action and other related courses learners have experienced and helps to create an action plan that may lead to positive impacts on our environment and society. The project culminates in sharing your action plan with expertsm, seeking both new collaborators and insight on how to build a regenerative future for all of us.


IAct is your opportunity to turn your passion into ideas and prepare to implement them in the real world. The 20 lesson live course will be guided by Green School mentors focused on purpose-driven project design, pitch and implementation.

Ideation

In this first part of the course, we invite you to wear two hats: that of a researcher and that of a creator. As a researcher, you will observe and analyze what already exists. As a creator, you will take your observations and start to generate ideas around which you can anchor your project.

Definition

Once a legitimate need has been identified, projects move from hypothetical “What if” ideas to a more concrete “What is it”. This part of the project is called "Framing Your Design Challenge". You will take your observations and research, and start to zero in on key questions that you seek to address.

Presentation

This final part of the course helps you design a powerful call-to-action so you may share these ideas with others, and build a team of collaborators who align strongly with the vision that is starting to unfold.
