Activity 2

As a group of young researchers, after gathering and listing the problems encountered by you and
the community you interviewed, group them according to similarities. Then, look at the UN's 17
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Classify the problems you have grouped into what SDG they
will apply to.

Create headlines for the categories after creating Categories/Sub-themes on the challenges you
listed earlier. Discuss with your team which challenge you would like to work on (you may choose at
most three challenges)

Activity 4

Mind Mapping and Focus

• Reflect on which challenges the sub-theme brings about

• Who is affected by this challenge? The user – the target group

• Where does it take place? The context the user is living in

Activity 5 Describe the Challenge

Example

The challenge is that so much water is sucked out from the river for watering crops, that the river
loses its healthy flow. The local government therefore prohibited leading water from the river to the
fields from next month. The farmers along the riverbanks have no other source of water, and so the
lives of thousands of families are threatened.

The challenge
The user
The context – where does it take place

Students need an easier way to lock their lockers at school, because combination locks are hard to
unlock and often get jammed.

Dogs need a way to go to the bathroom inside homes, because dogs don't like to go outside in bad
weather, and there are times when people can't take their dogs outdoors.
