The past 2 weeks we have been working on our final project at the global citizensship course. The name of the project is full flame and it is our chance to create social change i society!
We were a part of a group working with the terms governance and furthermore good governance, as we thought this was the right time having the latest election in mind and not to forget the very beginning of a democracy.
To introduce the thoughts about how to do good governance we created a fun and educational boardgame, targeting the youth of Myanmar.
But how is it to create social change in Myanmar?
In one word Challenging.
First of all having to find an achievable aim. As there a so many important issues to work With here in Myanmar, it was difficult making something that was realistic but still reaching out to a bigger audience.
And With that comes a new question: how do you find your audience?
Of course it was easier to find the active supporters because of our network here at global platform, but finding and involving the less political and activistic youth was a Challenge.
That ment that our product was very much suited for the political and activistic youth, which worked out really well in the end!
Overall there has been a lot of factors that we had to have in mind during the full flame because of the situation in the country, but luckely we have good local friends helping us understand the culture and the norms.
It has been really exciting and fun to be able to do something actively our selves after spending time in the classroom seeing other people do social change. Now we were the ones acting out, and setting our mark on this course.
