APPLY: CASE STUDY Inform students that they are going to use the Winnipeg Boldness Project as a case study for creating social change. A case study is an in-depth examination and analysis of something. In this case, students will be researching and analyzing the Winnipeg Boldness Project including the issues the initiative tackles, as well as the solutions (or prototypes) they came up with. Hand out the "Creating Social Change Case Study" worksheet and instruct students to work in pairs to complete the research, using the Winnipeg Boldness Project website at www.winnipegboldness.ca. Assign teams one of the twelve solutions, or, have teams choose the solution of their choice. Note: The website uses the term "prototypes". 1.Indigenous Doula Initiative: Pre and Post Pregnancy Care 2.Baby Basket: Supporting New Parents 3.Health & Wellness Planning: Pregnancy & Family Support
