Instructions
In this activity, learners will plan a community project by breaking it down into smaller steps, assigning roles and responsibilities, and creating a timeline. They will use a SMART plan to make sure their project is Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time - bound.
Begin by discussing with the learners what a community project is and why it is important. Explain the concept of a SMART plan and provide an example of a well - formed goal. Divide learners into small groups and assign each group a different community issue or challenge to address.
In their groups, have learners brainstorm ideas and choose one to develop into a project. Have learners create a SMART plan for their project, including specific, measurable goals, achievable steps, a relev ant purpose, and a timeline. Once groups have completed their SMART plans, have them share with the larger group and discuss any challenges or potential roadblocks.
Encourage learners to think about what resources and materials will be needed for their project, and how they will acquire them.
Debrief
As a closing activity, have each group share their project and SMART plan with the rest of the class, and discuss how they plan to implement their project in the community.
