WHAT IS DESIGN FOR CHANGE?• It is a global movement designed to give young people an opportunity to
express their own ideas for a better world and put them into action.• Moving students from passive (“Can I?”) to ACTIVE (“I CAN!”).
Children use a simple process of
FEEL( anything that bothers them)
IMAGINE( brainstorm ways to make it better )
DO( implement the act of change )
SHARE( send the stories to inspire others )
