Canvas Section:
Problem
As you explore the local context in which you work and live, you will identify problematic issues that you hope to address. Any one of these issues is a set of conditions that harm the welfare, dignity, or autonomy of those in your community. Examples of problematic issues include homelessness, lack of urban green space, and poor educational outcomes.
Issues like these are probably too large for you and your team to solve entirely. However, you can use the first worksheet in this section to define the issue clearly, then use the second worksheet to break the issue down into more specific conditions of the issue (its aspects and/or its causes), so you can select a starting point to begin to address the issue.
