Finance Your Dream is the sixth and last
module of
Kidlink's I
Have a
Dream program. The module
is designed by
Kidlink teachers to support your youth participants
with an environment for success as they work collaboratively with online
peers from around the world. Within the lessons of this module you will find
topics for youth to discuss and suggested activities that require action.
During this module those youth who have decided that they want to continue
their dream project will actively seek funding for it. This takes place in
Lesson 1. Those who have decided that they do not want to continue their
dream project beyond what they have already done will instead proceed to
Lesson 2. There they will complete an award application which signifies that
they are presenting their dream project for the voting process described
in that same lesson. In the Lesson 3 participants will plan an event that
celebrates all the hard work they have done during the many months of the
I
