Objective:
We would like UBC students to become more educated about the Open COVID Pledge and show their support for UBC signing it.
The Project:
This poster was created to have UBC students be excited to promote the Open COVID Pledge to their university as a way to get them to sign it. A google form is included for the students to express their opinion for UBC administration to hear.
STRATEGIES:
TRY THIS:
Make it specific to your community.
What worked?
I think that the idea behind this project and how it will be used was successful because it will be very simple for students to use this poster to share their thoughts.

Reflections from Riya Agrawal
What was the process/journey of creating this work?
First, our team had a brainstorming session on what would be accessible and informative, while also giving UBC students the chance to use their voice for an important issue. Upon coming up with the idea to have a poster with a QR-code for them to post their thoughts, I made an overall template and our team worked to improve it. Finally, I made the google form, with the description created by our team to educate the students about vaccine equity.
What skills or perspectives did the collaborators bring to this?
Cathy was very experienced with making posters of this format, so she knew what would look great. Declan and Jacob were able to phrase our wording on the poster and the google form as eloquently as possible
What would be your next steps, building on this idea, if you had a million dollars and all the time and skills in the world?
An interactive exhibit or art piece that the students could contribute to and share their voice on the Open COVID Pledge would be a very impactful way of getting their university to hear them. This sort of exhibit could be spread to universities all across the world to amplify the message.
