Task 4: Challenge 2 - Create a shared vision and values
Look around you — is it your school crew, your neighborhood fam, your faith group, or even your gaming squad? Pick one community you’re part of.
Your mission: Invite them to meet up and chat about what matters most. What kind of community do you all want to be? What values do you all share? Agree on your Top 5 values — the ones that matter most to everyone. Create a slogan or simple visual that shows off your shared vision — something that says, “This is who we are!”
Option 1: Share the results of the challenge with us.
Option 2: Got a plan? Tell us how you’ll team up with your chosen community to build a shared vision and agree on core values

Task 5: Community Participation
Imagine you are leading a community. This could be any kind of community that matters to you—your neighborhood, a workplace team, an online group, a school club, or even a local volunteer organization. But here’s the problem: Not enough people are joining in.
You’ve got cool stuff going on, but most folks aren’t showing up, helping out, or getting involved.
Your Task: Come up with ideas to get more people to join and take part!
Now, do the following:
- Grab a piece of paper, a notes app, or a digital mind map tool.
- In the center, write: "Low Participation"
- Around it, add ideas. Try to think of 20 ideas total—quick, fun, even wild ones!
Share your mind map with us (it can be a photo, scan, what makes it easy for you).

Task 6: Rituals of Connection
Now, think about one community you are a part of. What is one ritual you could propose to that community to help create a collective memory, reinforcing their values and cultural heritage? Consider how this ritual could strengthen the bonds within the community and contribute to its growth and resilience.
Share with us which community you’ve chosen, the ritual you’d like to introduce, and how you believe this ritual could impact the community.
