Whether you have already put a considerable amount of work into your Silver Award or are just getting started, think about ways to incorporate relationship-oriented concepts into your project. If you have already begun, you may want to reflect on:
- Why it is you chose your topic?
- Who benefits from it -- directly and/or indirectly?
- Who is working with you?
- How do your interactions with them help or hurt your progress on your goals?
- Are there ways to work together you hadn’t considered before?
- As the leader of the group, what can you do to create a working environment that is productive and helpful in achieving your goals?
If you have not yet begun and are thinking of topics or ideas, you may want to create a project that is based on issues of girls’ friendship and/or relationships with others. In addition to the questions listed above, you may want to consider:
- What are the issues you believe matter most to girls within their relationships with others?
- On what age group of girls would you like to focus?
- Which media work best for those ages (puppet shows for girls in grades K-3, a video documentary for girls in grades 4-8)?
- As a leader, how will you enlist others to help? Why do you believe healthy relationships are so important?
