A powerful, new creative space for teachers and students, our hub features an array of resources and activities to help teachers and students learn about human rights, the UN Sustainable Development Goals, and how to use the arts and media to tell stories that inspire action, solutions, and positive change.
Get inspired by what young people are doing and join us in our mission to make a difference in the world! Check out our lessons, featured projects, the student showcase, and our new Creative Visions Classroom initiative with Discovery Education.
Creative Changemakers, formerly known as Rock Your World, includes lessons and resources that help students build confidence in their ability to make positive changes in their communities and to become well-informed, engaged citizens. Flexible, free, and fully aligned with Common Core and SEL Standards, Creative Changemakers helps students think critically and act creatively.
Students will take a journey around the country to see real-world changemakers in action who are finding creative ways to improve their world.

Spotlights
Every month, we use our platform to shine a light on remarkable students and teachers with a powerful story to share from the forefront of learning and change.
"After Creative Changemaker sessions, I feel energized and excited about learning how my classmates and I can create change. I look forward to the work we do, and I enjoy learning about the stories Creative Changemakers tells, since there are multiple mediums including visual arts, performing arts, and cinematic arts. It felt good to make [our school] United Declaration of Human Rights because it made me feel connected to all of humanity. I think we should all be treated humanely, and I feel sad to learn about how some people don't have access to things such as clean water and air. It’s important that the rest of us do something to fix it, and I hope in the future, my classmates and I will work together to make some of the articles happen."
"Creative Changemakers has greatly amplified my curriculum and classroom. My students have grown tremendously as learners and creative activists through the experiences provided by this amazing organization. The kids are excited to participate in all of the projects, and genuinely look forward to our sessions."
In this lesson, students learn about and reflect on the efforts of change-makers and storytellers to create meaningful impact. Through examples, students will see how all forms of art, including visual, literary, and performing arts, can tell stories that resonate and compel audiences to feel, think, and act to make a change.
