What need/issue did you focus on for your Community

Racism

Guiding Question

Criterion A (i): define a highly challenging goal to address a need within a community, based on personal interests

Guiding Question:

How can we create a more inclusive environment by raising awareness about racism?

My project connects to the Global Context Identities and Relationships because it’s connected by the treatment we all receive by something that is part of identity which is our race/ethnicity.

Criterion B : Evidence

Criterion B (ii): plan and record the development process of the project

Criterion B (iii): demonstrate self-management skills

At first we had started with what our guiding question would be. Which would be “How can we create a more inclusive environment by raising awareness about racism?”

We also started looking for references on what we should so the poster should look like.

We then finished our MYP slides and poster in the end.
