Wright School – Wrong Speed

This segment showed how a small group of students took up an issue.
Though they stumbled at first, persevered until they found the right people with the proper authority to help them make their school crossings safer.


Got an issue you need to organize? Download our Project Communication Planner at: http://democracyitis.ecb.org/PDFs/Project_Communication_Planner.pdf to get started.
