Developing a social change project is often a group effort. In order to successfully lead change, you must be able to cooperate and communicate effectively with the rest of the team. This group assessment is meant to simulate a team-developed social change project.

Identify a social problem of concern and develop a social change project that applies social influence principles to address the problem creatively and effectively. Your team is creating a project to solve the problem using social change (persuading large groups of people to change their behavior to help solve the problem).

Create an 8- to 10-slide presentation that answers the following questions:

• What is the community or social problem of concern?
• What is the main idea behind how you will solve the problem?
• What are the persuasive techniques you will implement to convince many other people to help solve the problem?
