See It: The Community being helped

Today’s youth are seldom concerned about world events. They live their lives engrossed in technology, but do not make it their mission to learn about any international, let alone, domestic occurrences; because of this, it is hard for them to affect change.

This project is being executed to aid our fellow comrades. The purpose is to have them step out of their daily lives and expose them to the facts that don’t make the world such a wonderful place. Giving them the real facts will result in their cognitive dissonance; what they were told will conflict with what we tell them.

We will hold workshops on such issues as Child Soldiers, 9/11, and the Corporatocracy (Economic Hit men). Also, we have designed a website to accompany the information given in the workshops.

We used our first workshop on Child Soldiers as a means to predict whether our project will be successful. Our peers came with little knowledge about child soldiers; they left our workshop in tears. We hope to achieve this same level of success with our consequent workshops.

Conducting workshops seems to be an effective way of informing our peers about the dynamics of the world. The interactive activities that we conduct keep our peers interested and still provide them with the necessary information that they need to escape ignorance and affect change.
