You will develop an outline of a campaign in order to raise awareness about a particular issue.
What kind of research do you need to do? (statistics, background work, get individual narratives)
Consider how would you let the community know that this is an issue? What kinds of communication
strategies would you develop? (On-line, posters. ads, etc). When developing posters/ brochures/ handouts
what kind of text or pictures would you use?
What would be your demand?
What kinds of actions (for example, letter writing, petitions, briefs, protests, sit-ins, media stunts, etc.) would
you use to pressure the government to change the situation?
How would you evaluate your campaign?
