Strand: Sustainable Action
The Sustainable Action stage of taking action requires that teachers and students create, monitor and foster systems to sustain the action they have generated. At this stage, students reflect on the action they have taken and ways in which they can broaden their base of influence. The goal is to have the action become extended beyond the original creator of the idea. To take the action from a local to global platforms.
