When trying to gain attention or raise awareness for a project or issue you are passionate about it is important to make an impact. Doing this can ensure the issue you are raising awareness for has a lasting effect on your intended audience. Think about the most important message you want to convey and then work other minor details around it. You can use many platforms or methods as a medium for you message. For our project, we made a short one minute video which was filmed on an iPhone. What’s important is not the budget nor the expensive budget but how you portray your message. Be concise and to the point. If you are talking about climate change do not allow yourself to be sidetracked and start talking about the homeless crisis for example. It may help to have a mind map or brainstorm to know the direction you want to take. You can make a short video clip in which you post it to social media to reach a larger audience or you can write a letter to a local politician for a more direct approach. There are so many ways to reach people but by being truly passionate it becomes much easier to make an impact.
