Assignment and detailed instructions

  2. In the team, think about an issue that you would like to change (e.g. equality, environment, wealth, elderly people, children, families, hobbies).
  3. What would be the title of your advocacy project? What media-based means of influencing could be utilised in the project? To whom would the impact be directed?
