ALP: Module 2 - Week 5: Being in Action

Week 5

July 23 - July 29

Welcome to Week 5! This week you will consider ways to address the problem you identified during Week 3. Then you will finish the final components of your project proposal: the Intended Outcomes and present your final proposal with your peers

ASSIGNMENT 1 - Peer Discussion 2

This peer discussion activity will enhance your communication skills and boost your confidence. It’s a chance to gain valuable feedback, learn from diverse perspectives, and deepen your understanding of global community challenges, helping you grow as a global citizen.

Peer Presentation Prompt - Share your problem statement and project plan created in Week 4 with at least two other participants. This can be done in a group or one-on-one. Follow these steps during your presentations:

Step A: Take turns talking about your proposal (Problem statement and Project plan).
Step B: Take notes on each peer’s presentation to provide thoughtful feedback.
Step C: After each presentation, spend 1-2 minutes asking questions, offering suggestions, or showing appreciation.

Join an interest-area based Meeting Room on Discord to connect with fellow participants for discussion. You can meet anyone, not just those in your Group, or set up discussions with friends.

This is an optional, but highly encouraged activity. You do not need to make a presentation for this activity.

ASSIGNMENT 2 - Complete Reflection Prompt #3 💭

This section will help you refine their goals, anticipate challenges, and build practical strategies for success of your project.

Reflection Prompt # 3 : Developing Intended Outcomes

Developing intended outcomes is a crucial step in a project proposal because it clearly defines the project's goals and what success looks like. It provides direction, helping to align efforts, resources, and strategies. It also enables effective tracking and evaluation, allowing you to measure progress, identify challenges, and make adjustments. By outlining the desired outcomes, you demonstrate the project's potential impact and its long-term value, which is essential for securing support from stakeholders and funders.

Please use the following guiding questions as examples to help draft your problem statement. You are welcome to explore your own approach as well.

1. 1. 1. What do you want to achieve with your project?
    2. How will you track your project’s progress?
    3. What are some things you think you might have to create? E.g., workshops, events, products etc. (Please note- we are not asking you to actually implement your project-just think about it)
    4. Who do you think could support your project after it's launched (e.g., stakeholders, another organization, donors etc)?
    5. Identify 1 challenge you think you might face and how will you overcome it?
