- Target audience
- Stress among children
- Competitive nature

Root:
- Unaware of mental health

Educate children in our schools in order to educate the public more widely on mental health issues.

Encourage schools to provide specific facilities and resources for mental health and wellbeing.

- vaccine misinformation
- misleading media coverage when addressing healthcare
- lack of resources

Symptoms:
- vaccine hesitancy
- spreading of misinformation
- healthcare inequality

How to tackle:
- using social media to debunk myths
- implementing a system that can filter or debunk fake news
- education in general
- translation of government data to help combat misinformation for expats
- simplifying terminology]]> 2021-07-08 12:55:09 UTC https://padlet.com/laurenbinnington/WCD/wish/1641868105 Group 5: rishi_satish https://padlet.com/laurenbinnington/WCD/wish/1641874173 Root Causes:
- Vaccine misinformation 
- Geographical circumstances
- Healthcare income 
- Countries having to pay for the vaccines.


Symptoms:
- Hesitance to take the vaccines
- marginalisation
- Not willing to take certain vaccines

Tackling the causes:
- Giving data to the public that backs the vaccine (e.g.- effectivity).
- Students being taught why these vaccines are important.]]> 2021-07-08 13:01:21 UTC https://padlet.com/laurenbinnington/WCD/wish/1641874173 Group 2: https://padlet.com/laurenbinnington/WCD/wish/1641889723 Ideas:
- Student to student interaction (Sort of student takeover)
(student council, psychology student alliance)
This is to overcome the problem of shyness and the lack of openness by students when discussing on the issue of mental wellbeing.

Furthermore, forming an alliance with psychology students can be supported through facts and research done by psychology students which legitimizes the fact that mental health and wellbeing is worth discussing about.

This can be achieved through small PSHE sessions, painting some part of the school blue (to garner attraction) and student councils for effective communication.

It must be noted that mental health and wellbeing is a difficult topic to discuss, therefore students must take precaution in their presentations/ discussions without taking things too far or making it unbearable for the audience.

This could be within school with older students running the activity for younger students. It could also be for students in other schools and the local community. 

We could combine this with students discussing personal experience of their hobbies/work life balance.

Student led activity.

Students could monitor and run these accounts so that they can share their opinions.

-Allocating students (student council, prefects) to explain younger students what is happening right now and what we can do to combat the pandemic.

-Teaching and creating activities (e.g.- making leaflets, creating songs, games, etc. ) for young children that will teach them things we can do during the pandemic to be safe.

Ideate: using a podcast, involving members of school staff, students, and parents (especially ones that work in the healthcare sector)

Evaluate: realistic but students will need to be incentivized to listen in onto the podcast
achievable: it is quite easy to set up

Prototype: start up a podcast (student-led) that can involve teachers and professionals as they discuss about vaccine hesitancy/inequality
involve students from different year groups for discussions]]> 2021-07-08 13:25:44 UTC https://padlet.com/laurenbinnington/WCD/wish/1641905855 Group 3: India https://padlet.com/laurenbinnington/WCD/wish/1641907400 Objective: Vaccination
Ideas: 
  • MUNs and Debates
  • Themed foods 
  • Kids Take Over 
    • School 
    • Social media take over
  • Turning the school blue
    • Shirts
    • Food
    • Balloons 
  • Art contests -> Posters

-Refugee crisis-high impact on education-causing inequality
-Government funding in schools-education is different, not equal 
Equal amount of education
-Teachers weren’t doing much-they don’t know how to teach during the pandemic-stressed
-Mental health was an important root cause 
-Social side-relationship. Was being ignored.
-Private schools and public schools difference. Education and learning tools difference.

Tackling:
-Public school and private school combine
-More opportunities to public schools-high quality education-walking around private schools.
-Make surveys to ask them.

Economic disparities on an individual and societal level, as well as disparities in information and awareness levels based on access and education. 

Objective:
Within the Middle East, focusing on the disparity between rates between countries, with an education session and a "turn the school blue" to fund a vaccine drive in a LIC.]]> 2021-07-08 15:35:55 UTC https://padlet.com/laurenbinnington/WCD/wish/1642083429 To raise awareness about the digital divide for marginalised children - leading on to action in our schools. ptichotova https://padlet.com/laurenbinnington/WCD/wish/1642090814 To advocate for marginalised groups in education in our region, particularly LGBTQ students.]]> 2021-07-08 15:42:29 UTC https://padlet.com/laurenbinnington/WCD/wish/1642090814 Group 2 https://padlet.com/laurenbinnington/WCD/wish/1642093949 Work with government, businesses and communities to increase access to clean water, and address environmental degradation and climate change, for a safe and sustainable environment as envisioned by children and young people.

Root causes:
-Lack of education and government effort surrounding the issue
-American consumerism leads to large amounts of waste and consumption – selling a lot of single use products and large amounts of food waste since there is no composting 
-People don’t understand what climate change means for them
-People don’t see the impact on their lives on an everyday basis – more long term realization

Symptoms:
-Weak recycling infrastructure
-Large consumption due to convenience which causes a feedback loop
-The issue is ignored so it gets bigger in stead of getting addressed

Tackling the causes:
-Show people what their actions are causing
-Take action in our school – talk to the administration – post messages on walls so people gain a knowledge about what their actions are doing for the environment
-Use stories more often than statistics in order to showcase the problem to create an emotional connection towards changing our habits
-Have detailed planning – issues are discussed but no one puts out a plan that’s reasonable to stop the problem so we need to work with our community and schools in order to create a plan for how we become more sustainable

-Dress up in blue-no need to wear uniform
-chalk art for primary kids perhaps-more proactive 
-talent show-teacher perform, students judge/or post performance on social media, combine students, and region

-Disseminating activity/information in the weeks leading up to WCD to raise awareness on reasons behind vaccine disparity
-Dress down day in blue, with donation (eg 5dhs) to dress down and this would work towards fundraising for a vaccine drive
-Choosing a charity that works between individual schools. Need to look at how other schools fundraise and their restrictions. 

Awareness on misinformation:
-Resource created by and for students how educating about misinformation, how to spot it and why it occurs to be delivered on WCD. ]]> 2021-07-08 15:58:01 UTC https://padlet.com/laurenbinnington/WCD/wish/1642109662 Group 3 - Europe ptichotova https://padlet.com/laurenbinnington/WCD/wish/1642129303 Art exhibition on the rights of the child for our schools and their wider communities.

In order to:
Raise awareness about education gap for marginalised groups.

Connect people from different groups so that they can understand each other's perspectives.
]]> 2021-07-08 16:15:50 UTC https://padlet.com/laurenbinnington/WCD/wish/1642129303 Group 2 https://padlet.com/laurenbinnington/WCD/wish/1642130315 The main objective is to teach students about the issues of climate change and how It affects people in their community and region as well as some of the ways they can act to address the problem.

In order to achieve this objective, the overarching theme in every school will be having the older students educate younger children about the problem and what they can do to combat it. Each school can also decide any additional activities or initiatives they wish to implement to amplify this goal. The idea however is that the day highlights children's ability to combat climate change and amplify their innovative solutions.

For example:
-Schools could have an art competition where students display what is occurring with climate change and some of the dangers
-Zero waste day where schools are not going to sell single use items. Students will also not be allowed to use trash bins to represent how  the planet has no trash bin.
-Donate food waste from the cafeteria or have meat free Mondays in order to highlight ways to reduce our carbon footprints
-Design competition where students can create ways to reduce our impact on the planet - highlights children's power to be creative, innovative, and make change in their communities
-Adding posters around the school environment about the importance of saving water inside bathrooms, and other key actions (these posters could also be designed by students)
-Create a list of actions that families can do outside of school to ensure that the learning continues outside of the classroom and translates into changing our habits
-Highlight and advertise the school's actions on WCD through social media posts created/designed by the students

Root causes:  
- American Consumption Culture/ "Throw Away" Culture  (and the resistance towards tackling this culture)
-lack of education/awareness in/without of academic institutions 

Symptoms: 
-supply and demand cycle for single-use plastics--> increase plastic pollution/ supports polluting economic sectors 
    -weak recycling/composting programs  
-lack of  mentality changes ad thus actions around sustainability    

Tackling this issue: 
- educate students and get them personally involved in the issue (show them the impact they have/how this impacts their issue)-  use social media campaigns, workshops, etc. 
-campaigning for local institutions to become more sustainable (such as our schools) 
-strengthening our existing recycling programs/other ecological programs

3 Part Plan: 
   1) establish an Environmental Council within schools to tackle the priority of transforming schools into more eco-friendly communities  on a school-to-school basis 
  (allow for increase in organized, strategic action as well as continuity in action over the years) 
   2). WCD: a day of awareness raising for the advocacy priotity (long term goal) choose by the Council for that year (such as establishing a recycling program). Some ideas to do so: 
    -Visual links: wearing blue 
    -Activities: Blue Pep Rallies with key note speakers, interactive activities, lessons that serve as mini "workshops", poster competitions, etc.
   3) Long term goal: depends on the schools/commuity's needs but should have to do with the work of the council!]]> 2021-07-09 12:36:57 UTC https://padlet.com/laurenbinnington/WCD/wish/1643281211
