These quests are designed for you to put your passion for social change in action! You will be led in a series of steps to learn more about an issue that interests you and then create an original piece of media based on what you learn. An ultimate quest is one where you put your ideas together with youth in other parts of the world and collaborate on any kind of media that will make an impact. Plus - quests are a way to score big points!
Your chance to make your own quest that will be available to the entire ymex.org community! To begin, decide on a global issue that you want your quest to focus on, something other than the issues that already have a quest. Next, consider what you want other youth to take away from a quest - what skills do you want them to learn? What is the point of doing a quest? How does this contribute to positive action on an issue? (Keep the goals of ymex.org in mind for this - creating and sharing media on global issues!) Also keep in mind that you choose here how many steps a quest will have, it can be as few as 3 or as many as 13. Unlike most of the activities on ymex.org, these user-created quests DO need approval before they go live to the public. So once you have completed your quest, submit it to us and we will review it before making it live. Ready to get started? Click 'hide/show form' to begin... [ Show/Hide Form ]
