OUTLINE OF CLASS PRESENTATION

I. Introduction: Your Assigned Topic
 Here you discuss the nature of the general area of concern or social
problem that you are trying to respond to, -- is it about environmental
problems, such as pollution, food security, or poverty and all its various
forms, or is it an issue related to poor health, unemployment, access to
education, sanitation, housing, livelihood, etc..
 You may have to do some research on this topic and describe its current
state of situation in the world today (global), then its situation in the
country (national), as well as in the area where you conducted your project
(regional.)
 Explain the connection and interplay between this social problem and the
workings of globalization, -- taking into consideration the economic,
political and economic dimensions.
 In the context of this explanation, discuss the relevance and significance of
your current “60 Days of Global Responsibility” project. What is your
personal motivation for this project? Why do you feel this project is
important?

II. The Globalization Issue and Its Context

 Here you describe the locale and setting of your project, -- its location, the
people, the community, and the actual stakeholders or recipients and
partners of your project.
 Describe systematically the nature of the social problem, -- its cause(s), its
effects on people and the community, how long has this been a problem
in the community, what has been done by the local government and the
immediate community about it in the past. In other words, what is the
history of the social problem in the community?
  Analyze the problem, -- more specifically, in what way(s) does globalization
had an impact or influence on the problem. Think systematically and
critically.
 Documentation: The situation of the social problem before the
implementation of your project.

III. The “60 Days of Global Responsibility” Project

objectives that you wish to achieve?
 Explain the principle and concepts or the reasons why you think the
project is the most efficient response to the social problem.
 Step by step, describe the approach/methods that you employed in order
to implement it.
 What were the requirements and logistics of the project? ---materials,
equipment, labor, support, transportation, time and duration, cost?
 Documentation: The actual implementation of the project.

IV. The Outcomes

 Here you describe the actual results of the project. Describe in details the
changes that took place and the effects that your project had on the people

assessment on the impact of your project.
 Go back to the objectives of your project, and assess whether these were
achieved or not.
 In what way did your project respond to solve or at least minimize the
adverse impacts of globalization on local communities?
 How is the principle of “act local, think global” manifested in your project?
 Documentation: Evidences of the results of your project.

 Discuss the issue of sustainability of the project – how can the community
and the people continue to carry on the project?
 In what way(s) can the project still be improved?

strengths and weaknesses, fears, motivations, passion, courage, grit…
 What were the factors that facilitated or helped you to accomplish this
