World Savvy Challenge
I have taken the following info from the page linked above
PHASE II: Project-based learning –December – March

• Students choose a topic within the annual theme that sparks their interest and work in teams to research their topic. After their preliminary research, students identify an issue, explore what has been done in the past to address this issue, and develop an innovative solution with local, national and global components.
• World Savvy provides tools to build students’ research, media literacy and teamwork skills, as well as ongoing research support and connections to experts in the field for interviews, field trips, etc. click on the challenge link above and scroll down page for help.
• Project-based learning can be done in-class or after-school.

PHASE III: Preliminary Competition -March-April
Students submit work to a preliminary competition in one of the following events:

Website - A visual representation of your research and solutions that will be displayed online to be critiqued and evaluated by a panel of judges. Submitted online: No geographic requirement. - Visit a website from last year's Challenge.

Documentary - 15 minute video that uses audio and visual evidence such as photographs, maps, film clips, images, narration, and interviews summarizing students research and solutions. Submitted online: No geographic requirement. - Visit out Youtube playlist of sample documentaries.

• Knowledge to Action Plan: All students will also be required to develop a written Knowledge-to-Action Letter of Intern outlining how they plan to take informed action.
• Action Roundtables: In addition to competing in their chosen event, each participating student is required to compete in an action roundtable, where they will discuss existing strategies for addressing a problem related to the annual theme. Students will collaboratively agree on the most effective solution to the problem. Participation in the action roundtable is required for all students who wish to be eligible to receive prizes in the regional and national competitions. Students participating in-person will complete the action roundtable at their regional events; students participating online will participate in an online action roundtable. - Read last year's Action Roundtable Scenario.
