ACTIVATE: EXPLORING SOCIAL IMPACT INITIATIVES
Begin by asking the class if they know what social impact initiatives are. Solicit student
responses. Inform them that social impact projects are initiatives that seek to solve a prob-
lem in a given community. Ask students if they know of any social impact initiatives in their
communities, province or country. Write their responses on the board. See more examples of
Social Impact Projects by Indigenous people below.
Next, have students conduct internet research to answer the following:
1. Who started the initiative?
2. What problem did the initiative attempt to address or solve?
3. What was the solution they came up with?
4. How did the people involved use their gifts and talents?
5. Do your gifts and talents align with this project? How so?
