FINAL SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

1. 2-page Written Report Guidance

We ask that you submit a 2-page Project Report (no longer than 2 sides of A4).

The report is your opportunity to showcase the journey your team has been on and the progress you have made with your GSL Global Goals project. We want to see how much you have learned on your journey as well as how much impact you have had.

The report must be a maximum of 2 x A4 pages and it is up to you how you structure and present your report.

The following things must be included in your report (in no particular order):

  • At least one photo of your team and your project(s) in action
  • Highlights from your experiences so far
  • Outline any funds or in-kind donations
  • (e.g. free posters, free venues or additional resources) you have secured
  • The project title and project logo (if applicable)
  • The aim of the project
  • The Sustainable Development Goals that your project addresses
  • The outcomes and impacts of the project (see judging criteria). Include any successes or failures
  • The knowledge/ learning you gained through the project
  • The skills you gained through the project Some tips for success (things we’ll be looking out for):
  • Keep your report simple, clear and easy to read
  • Use colour, photographs and graphics to make your report as appealing as possible
  • Think about creative ways to display your information
  • What evidence can you show us of your impact (planned or actual) on others? Can you use quotes, statistics, testimonials and so on?
  • Make sure you check spellings thoroughly
  • Get feedback from your teachers/GSL advisors – many of them have had experience of writing reports like these

2. Digital Submission Guidance

We would like to be able to see in more detail what you have achieved through your projects and ask for a digital  submission in addition to your written report. This can be in the form of a video or visual presentation such as Prezi. We are interested to see how you can communicate what you have achieved through a different format. Be as creative as you like!

The digital submission must not exceed 3 minutes.

  • Your digital submission should be in the format of an html link to an online YouTube or Vimeo video. Please watch the short instructional videos below about how to upload your digital submission to these platforms. If you cannot access either of these platforms please get in touch with us to arrange an alternative solution.
  • For Prezi sharing you may need to make us an editor to share it. Please email: social.leaders@ future-foundations.co.uk.
  • It is the responsibility of each team to secure and clear all rights for photographs or video content. The team assumes full responsibility for notifying the other partners and organisations of any use of their information or imagery.
  • All non-English content needs to have English subtitles or an English transcript needs to be provided.
