Problem and

Problem and Solution Trees are similar to mind maps.

community problems, and develop solutions.
We will use Problem and Solution Trees to become active global
citizens, planning actions to make change!

Discussion questions
• Does this represent the reality?
• Which causes and effects are getting better, which are getting worse and which are staying the

• What decisions have we made, and what actions have we agreed?
