With the help of your teachers, classmates, family members and neighbors, determine and write in your notebook the elements that you plan to include in your community life project.
Establish topics you would like to work on as part of your proposal. For example, improving health or recreational sites, reducing violence in public places, and reducing environmental damage. You can use the following proposals as a guide:
a) In order to deal with the environmental problem, you can promote water care activities, creating orchards, planting trees, and recycling activities, among others.
b) Concerning security, you can promote activities related to the culture of peace and non-violence, open dialogue spaces at school that can make it easier to understand what conflicts are and their viable solutions.
Creativity at Work
It is time to create the content of your community life project. You will share it with your school and neighborhood communities. For this, it is very important to complete the community tasks you planned; for example, recovering an abandoned place in the community as a strategy to improve security, by means of environmental, artistic, and cultural rehabilitation.
The purpose of the project is to solve community problems, so each member of the group should participate in finding a solution as follows.
In assembly, select the place for the community work and explain why it is necessary to rehabilitate that place. Make a list of resources needed to clean and recover the place.
Using the artistic skills of the community members, make a wall painting, drawing, or write some messages with recommendations to prevent situations of risk for health,security, and the environment.
Take pictures of the community space, after and before your work, to record the changes made.
1With the participation of your families, school, and community, organize an artistic, cultural, and sports festival at the site you want to recover.
