SAMPLE CONCEPT PAPER
For years, many students
depend on the school’s drinking
fountain. Aside from saving
them money, the school’s
drinking fountain contains filters
that make the water safe
enough to drink.
But according to our research,
the last time the water was
tested was about three years
ago and by using the drinking
fountains around school, it s
highly questionable that the
water is still safe for drinking.
Our group has theorized that the
natural water- and – tear of the
drinking fountain has led to the waters
unpleasant taste. Our group, The
Mossaic Alliance, aims to create several
online sources that will help promote
the awareness of people involved
about this problem and create an
online petition with the goal of
improving our drinking fountains here
in our school.
Our groups aims to create Change.
Org petition, a Facebook group and a
blog to help achieve our goals. We will
be creating infographics and other
related information connected to the
dangers of drinking unsafe water
especially at a young age. The scope of
our project is to be able to reach the
schools administration, parents,
teachers and students to sign our
petition.
We will be requiring a week to
develop this project and we will start our
promotion right after we have uploaded
the website. We will be also using our own
resources so the funding for this project
will be close to none. Our expenses may
only include the printing of campaign
materials and the Internet and computer
shop rentals in case we need more time
outside school hours. We will be also using
free services already offered by Facebook,
Blogger and Change.org.
