FEELChildren came up with different problems faced by our community:• Civic Sense• Stop plastic• Traffic Rules• booster shots to roadside children• Hukka Bars• Paint municipal schools gloomy

Forming a consensus

• After a discussion between Grade7 and Grade8 Students, looking at the rate of accidents observed in the city , a consensus was formed and the idea- “Follow Traffic Rules” was chosen to be implemented.

• This was chosen because students felt that this was one issue which was very evident around them and that they will be actually be able to make a difference by influencing some people.

IMAGINE

Suggested ideas for implementation:• Brainstorming to find a solution to enhance traffic sense.School community:• Showing videos (related to effect of breaking traffic rules)• Showing movies • Making rap songs• Power point presentations • PostersFor local public:• Street plays• Direct talk with rule breakers
