The Learning Hub
Educate. Create. Act.

A powerful, new creative space for teachers and students, our hub features an array of resources and activities to help teachers and students learn about human rights, the UN Sustainable Development Goals, and how to use the arts and media to tell stories that inspire action, solutions, and positive change.

Get inspired by what young people are doing and join us in our mission to make a difference in the world! Check out our lessons, featured projects, the student showcase, and our new Creative Visions Classroom initiative with Discovery Education.

Creative Changemakers, formerly known as Rock Your World, includes lessons and resources that help students build confidence in their ability to make positive changes in their communities and to become well-informed, engaged citizens. Flexible, free, and fully aligned with Common Core and SEL Standards, Creative Changemakers helps students think critically and act creatively.

Calls to Action

Creative Visions has partnered with InnerView to stimulate meaningful creativity in our youth. The initiative calls on bright and imaginative students to express their views on global issues in conjunction with International Days through original art and media projects.

SEPT 14–OCT 15 → Democracy Day

We call on youths ages 14-18 to create a visual piece emphasizing ways to prevent the spread of misinformation–a persistent threat to democratic institutions and ideals.

The International Day of Democracy provides an opportunity to review the state of democracy worldwide.

OCT 1–23 → Banned Books Awareness

In recent years, there has been an increased attempt to ban books in schools and libraries nationwide. To learn more about what is happening, visit Pen America.

National Book Banning Awareness Week occurs from October 1-7. We are extending our observance for the month of October. We call on youths ages 11-18 to select a book that they find personally meaningful and deserving of being on school and library shelves by designing an original cover for the book and sharing a brief written reflection about their selection.

SUBMIT RESPONSE →

Students across the nation are answering our calls to creative action and submitting responses. Take a peek at the work we have already received, and be sure to encourage the youths in your lives to submit their own responses as well.

MENTAL HEALTH MEME | "Many students get anxiety from their tests and test results. So, I wanted to make a meme to help students relate to the meme and let them know that it's okay to be a little stressed. But don't stress over it too much, and to know that you did your best, and that's okay." | CLICK FOR MORE

MENTAL HEALTH MEME | "My meme centers around awareness, which is often something mental health lacks. Simple things such as homework may appear manageable, but are actually one of the primary causes of school stress and less time for self care. Many concerned parents may also pressure their kids into feeling of anxiety rather than actually helping their mental health. I hope others can find a touch of humor and relatability to the struggles of school through this meme. Using creativity and humor to create this meme made me happier. I feel like my mood has improved because using creativity can bring a sense of accomplishment in my finished creation." | CLICK FOR MORE

However, when I complete at least one thing, I feel accomplished and proud of myself so creating this meme increased my creativity because I got the chance to come up with my own caption that I feel a lot of people would relate to. Creating this meme also improved my mood because it was fun to look up and choose self-care pictures that I enjoy for my meme." | CLICK FOR MORE

MENTAL HEALTH MEME | "One factor that affects one’s view of mental health is society’s idea of normalcy. With this meme, I hope to bring awareness to the fact that “normal” only exists as a concept, not as a definite construct which restricts the way in which one should behave to be accepted.

Spotlights

Every month, we use our platform to shine a light on remarkable students and teachers with a powerful story to share from the forefront of learning and change.

Featured Student

Meet Creative Changemaker, Gabrielle H.

We met Gabrielle when she sent us a creative response to our call to action about banned books earlier this year.

"Creative learning calls to me as a student and aspiring engineer. In a world where everyone does not have unlimited access to unfiltered and accessible knowledge, we must aid and help in any way we can. My school's book club works hard to make sure that students who are desperate to read but do not have funds can access books. We apply for grants to keep our program going and have been fortunate enough not to struggle with funding in the many years the club has been running. After being read, the novels will be distributed to classrooms and the school’s media center to be available to the larger student body. Safeguarding the freedom of expression and championing diverse perspectives and experiences is an endeavor that merits universal appreciation. I am delighted to contribute in any manner possible to this cause."

Featured Teacher

Meet Seven Arrows Elementary School Teacher Julie Resua (Fifth Grade)

"Creative Changemakers has greatly amplified my curriculum and classroom. My students have grown tremendously as learners and creative activists through the experiences provided by this amazing organization. The kids are excited to participate in all of the projects, and genuinely look forward to our sessions."

Featured Lesson

What’s Your Story and How Will It Best be Told?

(Located in Module 2 of Lessons)

In this lesson, students examine how storytelling can create change in their communities and the world at large. They do this by taking a closer look at the elements of storytelling and how these elements appear not just in written and verbal expression, but also in the visual, performing, and cinematic arts. They then explore how sound storytelling can affect how others feel and think, thus, creating a connection between themselves and their audiences.
