PITCHING

Welcome to this digital lesson about pitching,

especially for your Changemakers action!

This lesson provides further insights into your

perfect pitch. Have fun!

Projectmanagement

Who, what, where?

Okay, let's go back for a moment. Who are we again, and what are we doing? We are Team Changemakers from the United World College. You're participating in our social service project for a few weeks. During these weeks, we reflect on who you are, what matters to you, and how you can use your qualities, knowledge, and character to make the world an even more beautiful place.

We challenge you to become a 'Changemaker' too: someone actively bringing change to our society.

Projectmanagement

Where were we?

Before we dive deeper into your project plan, let's review what has stuck with you from the kick-off and workshops. What have you learned since the start of the program? Type out everything that comes to mind.

What have you learned so far?

Projectmanagement

Wow!

You're already well on your way to becoming a true Changemaker! We at UWC Netherlands are already very proud of what you've come up with. Now, let's zoom in on your project! Grab your workbook and open it to your project plan!

Note: You can only continue with this lesson if each group has filled in the project plan.

PITCHING

You already know exactly what you're going to do 

on Changemakers Day! During the workshop, 

you received tools for pitching. Now, let's take it a step further...

PITCHING

You can use a pitch to sell, announce, or 

present your idea. For example, you can pitch 

to a company about your product, pitch to a stranger, or a pitch for the 

Celebration night!

Projectmanagement

A good pitch...

....consists of: 

1. Who you are;

2. What the problem or dilemma is;

3. What your solution is, and what you are going to do;

4. What you need in order to do this, and what you need from the one listening...

Look at the next slide: do you recognize these elements in the next pitch?

Projectmanagement

Write your pitch!

Write down and tell us (individually)

1. Who you are;

2. What the problem or dilemma is;

3. What your solution is, and what you are going to do;

4. What you need in order to do this, and what you need from the one listening...

TIP: Keep it short and simple. A pitch usually lasts only 30 seconds. 

TOP: During the Celebration night, each group will get one minute 

to pitch!

Projectmanagement

Finish your pitch...

Share with each other (in your project group):

5. Create a draft of your pitch and present it to your group.

6. Combine your pitches into the best pitch ever!

Projectmanagement

Let's go!

Quick reminder: 
Here are the best tips!

1. Humor and originality are appealing.

2. Practice, practice, and practice.

3. Use your own story and radiate enthusiasm.

4. Tailor your story to your audience.

GOOD JOB!

We have reached the end of this lesson. You've written a fantastic pitch and are one step closer to becoming a Changemaker. Well done! 

Until next time, Team Changemakers!
