3. Put it together and, what have you got?

You're now going to put your research together in a format of your choice for a target audience of your choice...

Remember your purpose and chosen audience will affect your choice of format... Will you share your Global Citizenship experiences via a poster in the classroom, or on the digital screens? Via a vlog, or a presentation?
