Student Responsibilities

During the ChangeMaker Workshop, you will learn through experience, reflection, teamwork, and presentation. Some work will happen at school, and some you will complete at home.

What You Will Do at Home (After Day 1)

After the first day, you will reflect on your simulation experience and also work with your group.

You will work individually to:

• Complete a physical Empathy Canvas

  • Choose one character from the RealLives simulation you felt connected to

• Read your RCMI Competency Report on your dashboard

  • This shows strengths like empathy, decision-making, and leadership

Optional (Your Choice):

• Write a short letter to your character

  • You can share how you felt, what inspired you, or what you learned

  • This is not compulsory and not graded

You will also work with your group to:

• Think more deeply about your social idea

• Improve your business plan

• Discuss:

  • What problem you are solving

  • Your solution

  • Who it helps and why it matters

Why this matters: This time helps you think more deeply and improve your ideas without classroom pressure.

What You Will Do at School – Day 1 (After Lunch)

On Day 1, you will start working in teams.

At school, you will:

• Form a group of 5 students

• Choose one social problem inspired by the simulation

• Decide on one solution (business, campaign, movement, product, or service)

• Begin filling the physical Social Business Canvas together

Why this matters: You start turning empathy into a real-world idea with your team.

Day 2 is about finishing and submitting your work.

At school on Day 2, you will:

• Finalise your social business plan

• Clearly complete the physical Social Business Canvas

• Prepare a 5–7 minute group presentation

• (Optional) Share reflections or parts of your empathy letter

Important to remember:

• The physical Social Business Canvas is your final submission

Why this matters: You bring your ideas together, gain confidence, and learn how to present clearly.
