#DoGoodFromHome

Calling on children and teens do little acts of kindness

WHAT 

Children and teens do simple acts to spread compassion and kindness
The #DoGoodFromHome Challenge calls on children and teens to connect through kindness while they are social-distancing. They can use their compassion and creativity to do acts of good from home.
Small acts can make a big difference!

HOW

Use the FIDS (FEEL-IMAGINE-DO-SHARE) design thinking framework to create your own meaningful connections.

Once you have chosen the people you want to help, follow these 4 simple steps to find creative ways to help them.

On the phone talk to the people if you know them.

Be Curious: How do you feel about them? How would they be feeling?  What are some of their challenges? 

could have a chat about it with your parents or your friends

Things to think about

IMAGINE

What can make it better for them?

Brainstorm! List down as many ideas you can make to a small change right now. Talk to your friends and family.  Make sure it is safe and doesn’t make you go out of your home. 

Think of a talent or a skill you can use to make things better for them.  Like teaching a friend a musical instrument or help them with Home-based learning, teaching digital skills to  your grandparents or create an online book club. 

 

Remember, little things can make a big difference in people’s lives.
