Investigation and Preparation

Research and read online articles about a day. Find out about its history, meaning, and other facts and statistics

Action

Collaborate with the partner to gather information, filter the sources, and compose the contents of the posters, then publish on X, aiming to inform people about important global events and days in the month.

Data collection involves researching authoritative websites for credible information to avoid misinformation, reiterating the principles of academic integrity, and applying them in real-life scenarios. The platform X was chosen to maximize the exposure of spreading awareness, contributing to the final goal of educating people about the importance of commemorating International Days.

Collaboration is a key component of success, as it incentivizes debates and discussions between me and my peers, allowing for the presentation of more comprehensive and objective perspectives backed up by a rigid system of evidence

Creating this poster involved several steps. I began by researching and selecting relevant international days to feature. Ensuring the accuracy of the information was a priority during this phase. Designing the layout required thoughtful consideration of visual elements to effectively communicate the message. While there were challenges in condensing information in limited space, the process was ultimately successful. Through this experience, I gained valuable insights into this international event that I was not aware of before, now acquiring a more consolidated understanding of the impacts of war.

The selection of information succeeded to incorporate a diversity of sources and perspectives, ensuring the ethical aspects of publishing this piece of work by maintaining objectivity.
