STEP 5 ‘ACT’

Taking action is the final step
in MIL and it is based on all the

previously gained skills.

It is essential that students’

empowerment goes beyond the classroom and has an impact on
society.

As members of society, students can make their voices heard on a
larger scale and thus improve the quality of life in their families,
homes, schools, communities and the world.

Taking action can include working both individually and

with others. The objectives of active media work are to share
knowledge, and to address and draw attention to relevant issues
facing the communities, the countries and the world.

There is a relationship between education and social responsibility,

and it’s important that people learn to develop integrity and
accountability for their actions.
