An Invitation to Join #ChangeTheNow

In 2018 Georgian College, Canada’s first Ashoka Changemaker College, wanted to know if they could mobilize students from kindergarten to Post Secondary into a movement, effectively building a region of Changemakers. It was from here that #ChangeTheNow began.

Do Good to Do Well

#ChangeTheNow was created on the beliefs that small acts can lead to big change and collaborations can turn into largescale movements. We believe together students’, educators’ and communities’ ideas can spark systems shifts that make will make our communities greener, healthier, safer, stronger and more inclusive!

Will you join us in creating the positive change and contribute to 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals?

    What did you personally learn about the process of creating your team canvass?

    Himanshi's Answer

    I found team Canvas an interesting to understand about the people you are working with and understanding our strengths and weakness, interest, our goals and values as a team and as an individual. This activity helped me to ensure clarity, alignment, and effective collaboration within the team.

    After completing the Mobius Strip exercise, what do you feel are next steps towards contributing to the community you care about?

    Himanshi's Answer

    What an interesting task "My Mobius". It was fun doing together with the team and realizing that how I as an individual a part of the community and community is part of me. After completing the Mobius Strip exercise and embracing the ME=WE philosophy, the next steps towards contributing to my community will be reflecting on my values, identifying community needs, setting goals, collaborating with others, actively engaging through volunteering, advocating for causes, continuously learning, and evaluating my ideas. i will embrace the ME=WE mindset and let it guide me in creating positive change for the community.

    🤔 Reflection question

    How might you explain the value of you having a systems-thinking mindset when attempting to define and understand a complex problem?

    Manav's Answer

    Having system-thinking mindset will help to understand the complex problem effectively because it ensures that we follow the procedure with set of rules. It will also play a key role while attempting to define the complex problem and it help to open up and find reliable solution of the problem.

    🤔 Reflection question

    After learning about how to empathize with the people affected by your SDG’s social issue, how you might apply empathy to working with the members on your CTN Innovation Team?

    Manav's Answer

    I think that the basis of empathy is how you can feel the emotions of the people who are facing that particular situation by putting self into that situation. Apart from it, empathy will also help to understand the situation and give an opportunity to implement the solution effectively.

    🤔 Reflection question

    What did you personally learn about the process of creating your team canvass?

    Manav's Answer

    I think, the biggest learning of the team canvas exercise is to get an idea about the strength and weakness of the team members. It is also helpful in delegating tasks among the team members which will make it easy achieve the pre-determine goals of the project.

    Manav's Answer

    I think what we have discovered through the Mobius Strip, we should have to implement those steps in real life and encourage the people to be a part of the desired change in the society and also be helpful in finding and implementing the sustainable solutions in society.
