Create a DVD-based curriculum on poverty and social entrepreneurship.ChangEducate (A Venture of Discover Worlds, non-profit organization)

ChangEducate will revolutionize the way high school students view poverty and their ability to take action against it. Our idea is a DVD-based education initiative about poverty, the first of its kind. We have designed a curriculum and service-learning lesson plan in conjunction with experts at Duke University’s Education Department conforming with the national standards for social studies education.  The DVD will explain both aspects of domestic and international poverty, and will motivate students to create their own grass-roots projects. The overarching goal of the ChangEducate program is two-fold: to raise awareness of poverty and to empower students to make a difference. The curriculum accomplishes this goal by providing substantive material on poverty to which students can relate as well as showing them an example of how someone in their position could truly make a difference. This is a revolutionary way to show students how much of a difference they can make!
