With a group of friends, identify an humanitarian issue within your local community, come up with a solution that could change the status quo in the future! Create a poster/video showing this issue and how you plan to solve it. Remember, the word impossible does not exist - dream big!

Organise an event to recruit volunteers, raise funds, or promote awareness about a UWC national committee or short course. Utilise the slogan 'Together we change' as a theme for inspiration, and help improve a national committee or short course.

Organise an essay or poetry competition at your school or college based on this year’s theme  ‘Together we change'. Share the outcomes on social media to amplify the impact.

Participate in an open-mic event and share what this year’s theme ‘Together we change’ means to you through various artistic mediums! In the past, we have had UWC national committees organising collaborative virtual open mic events, inviting participants to share music, dance, poetry, and photography that portrayed how UWC has impacted their lives!

Organise a panel discussion using 'Together we change' as inspiration. Pick a particular humanitarian topic you are passionate about and organise a panel discussion on how to change things, how to mobilise more people to come up with impactful solutions for your chosen issue.

Select a UWC school/college, UWC national committee or a local charity you wish to raise funds for. Organise an event to collect donations, such as a cycling class at your local gym or a 24-hour Race. 

Organise a film screening in person or online in keeping with your interpretation of the UWC Day theme 'Together we change'. You can lead a discussion after the movie, allowing participants to share their views. For example, you could invite them to consider how the movie reflects this year's theme 'Together we change', or its relevance to the UWC mission.

Organise a UWC Hackathon, in which our community can reflect on the theme 'Together we change' in the context of local, regional, and international issues that you feel most passionate about. A hackathon is a competition that aims to use tech to solve real-world issues. Small teams with diverse skills develop a product during the hours of the event which is then judged by its quality and effectiveness in solving the defined issue. You can find some ideas on how to get started here.

Organise a letter-writing or petition-signing event. Put pen to paper to write letters and come together to inspire change! It’s low-budget, easy to organise, and can be attached to other events. Furthermore, you can do this while catching up online or in-person with some old UWC friends!

Organise a UWC community meet-up at your University or city to connect with fellow UWCers in real life - you can spread the word about your event to other UWCers via the UWC Hub.

Get a group together to do an outdoor activity (if possible given the current circumstances). Organise a bike ride, a walk in the park or a clean-up of a local ecosystem!

Put together an online, UWC-style “Dragon’s Den”! In 2018, UWC alums in Ottawa, Canada turned the famous “Dragon’s Den” format into an opportunity to collaborate on social causes and projects - alumni got to pitch their cause to a group of experienced mentors to seek their advice on a challenge they or their group is facing. This does not only allow for a structured knowledge-exchange between the alumni, but also allows the audience to learn about the great things alumni are up to and maybe join in on their efforts.
