JURY PROCESS
The stories submitted for the School Challenge undergo an intensive Jury process for evaluation. The DFC Jury comprises of accomplished designers and social entrepreneurs from all across the globe.
So what is the jury is looking for?
Stories led by Children
Create spaces for children that are conducive to open dialogue. That is how children are able to give voice to their opinions and ideas. This also enables them to explore and break down complex challenges.
Focus on the User
The judges also look for evidence of children engaging with their community to understand different peoples’ needs and perspectives while dealing with the challenge at hand. Greater insight leads to better solutions.
Thinking beyond the Obvious
Generate a large variety of ideas, and select those that directly fulfil the needs of the people the children are designing change for. Students should try to think beyond obvious answers like raising money or conducting a rally.
Know the Impact
It is important for the children to go out and collect feedback and reviews from the community once their act of change has been completed. Outcomes are important!
The Change within
At the end, the judges like to see how the children have evolved their understanding and attitude towards the problem by talking, drawing and writing about it.
Quality of Sharing
There are points allotted for communicating our learnings and sharing the story of change with as many people as possible in as many different ways as possible.
