What Does It Mean to "Take Action?"

The International Baccalaureate Organization states, “Action, the core of student agency, is integral to the PYP learning process and to the programme’s overarching outcome of international mindedness. Through taking individual and collective action, students come to understand the responsibilities associated with being internationally-minded and to appreciate the benefits of working with others for a shared purpose." (IBO Curriculum Framework)
