The goal is to add creativity (literature suggests it is sorely lacking in education) and personal efficacy to topics that are otherwise often 'soul crushing' or engender a sense of hopelessness.
Starter ideas are embedded in the project description on Talon, but new ideas arise daily. In response to "Miss Representation," students were wanting to make projects to reach out to media outlets and politicians to state their frustrations. They were also willing to come up with ways to share the documentary with others that might foster greater awareness (and hence the power to change!) of the social forces acting on us.
