3.1 Read About Social Responsibility
3.1D Youth Movements - A New Way of Thinking
This lesson features inspiration from digital text that helps us to answer both parts of the question: How can we contribute to community and care for the environment?
Digital text is basically any electronic (computer, tablet, radio, television) form written, oral (spoken), or visual (posters, photographs, infographics, timelines) text. Videos combine spoken word and visuals to give strong messages.
Ted Talks are events held all over the world that bring together people to listen to "talks" that spread ideas. TedXKids@BC was born in 2011. Each year since since 2011, up to 15 amazing BC young people have braved the stage to inspire other youth to strive to make the world a better place, to chase dreams, to overcome challenges, and to share lessons learned.
One 2016 event had youth shared information about taking on social responsibility by contributing to communities, solving problems, valuing diversity, and building relationships.
Do you think you are too young to make a difference? Can you become a catalyst of change?
In Youth Movements - A New Way of Thinking, Wesley Graham introduces two youth who have worked toward solving problems, and then he talks about how he found his passion and is now working toward solving a problem.
