PROJECTS, THEMES, CONCEPTS<br />
Students MUST be involved in at least one project involving teamwork that integrates two<br />
or more of Creativity, Action and Service, and is of significant duration (typically 25 or<br />
more hours). Larger scale activities of this sort may provide excellent opportunities for<br />
students to engage with “issues of global importance.” From time to time, the IB may<br />
identify broad themes that schools are invited to support. “Sharing Our Humanity” is the<br />
current theme. Such themes may provide a context that will enable students to generalize<br />
further in their reflections, following the maxim “Think globally, act locally. ”<br />
Examples of projects that integrate two or more of Creativity, Action and Service and of<br />
significant duration (typically 25 or more hours) could be:<br />
Mission trips organized through local ministries<br />
Habitat for Humanity<br />
Big Brothers/Big Sisters<br />
Hospital Volunteer<br />
Local Museums and Nature Centers<br />
Camp Counselor<br />
Humane Society/Animal Shelters<br />
Soup Kitchens<br />
Food Banks<br />
Examples of global issues that can be acted on locally are:<br />
Disease<br />
