Why this skill rocks
Learning about big world problems helps you understand how everything connects and how you can make a difference right now.
2034Where this could take you
Imagine in 2034, you're a young diplomat, helping to solve big challenges during the Olympics, or inspiring global cooperation for a better world.
What You'll Need
Optional materials for this quest.
World Atlas
RequiredA physical world atlas helps you visualize where global issues are happening — much more powerful than a screen for building geographic intuition and making connections across regions.
Project Planner Notebook
RequiredA dedicated notebook keeps your research notes, action plan, and reflections in one place. Writing by hand helps ideas stick — and you will want a record of your project from start to finish.
Presentation Poster Board Set
If you plan to present your issue to a class or community group, a set of poster boards lets you create a visual display that gets people attention and makes your data memorable.
