INTRODUCTION TO FIDS
FIDS for kids
Powered by the principles of design thinking, Design for Change offers a simple 4 step framework FIDS (Feel-Imagine-Do-Share)- to unleash the I CAN superpower in every child.
Using this framework, children are encouraged to 'FEEL' (observe and identify any situation that bothers them), 'IMAGINE' (brainstorm a way to make it better), 'DO' (work in teams to implement their solution) and finally, 'SHARE' (their solution of change with the world) to inspire others to say, 'I CAN'!

"Design for Change helps teachers empower student leadership. Students, as well as teachers, grow as leaders by using the 'FIDS' framework. Their research has proven that cultivating in students these and other twenty-first century skills and social competencies (such as teamwork) has an impact on students’ academic results, develops fundamental character traits, and creates better employment skills for our students."
