Work: Game Changers
Subject: Health
Teacher: Coach Niko
For this project I helped host an event for my community called Game Changers. This event talked about the benefits of being on a whole plant based diet. For this event me and a few other students gathered donated plant based food. To advertise this event I used social media, posters, and got an add in the newspaper. I gathered four professionals on this subject to have a question and answer panel. I interviewed two out of the four professionals including Dr. Van Dyken and Nurse Practitioner Liat Miller. On the day of the event we had tables, a stage, and whole plant based food set up. When our community arrived they gathered their food, then I introduced the panel of professionals, watched the documentary Game Changers. and lastly hosting the question and answer. It was so rewarding to see our community come together to learn, grow, and become healthier. I demonstrated an understanding and ability to host a community event locally., in order to shape the circumstance my life and lives of others.
After the event:
I also continued to shed light on the topic of healthy eating by presenting two slide shows to my classmates.
Conclusion:
By hosting this event I learned many civil literacy and engagement skills. It was amazing to bring our community together to speak out about this important topic. Thank you!
