4 EASY STEPS TO UNLEASH THE I CAN SUPERPOWER

A simple 4 step framework – called FIDS (Feel, Imagine, Do, Share) that cultivates the I CAN Mindset.

  • Feel

    FEEL

    This step starts with asking you to slow down and 'understand' the situation before jumping to 'solve' it.

    Why is it Important?

    It develops EMPATHY.

    When you want to design a better solution, you need to move from 'assumptions' to 'insights' - this happens when you engage with the user and design solutions 'WITH', instead of 'FOR' them.

  • Imagine

    IMAGINE

    This step asks you to brainstorm solutions to improve, enrich, change the user experience.

    Why is it important?

    It develops ETHICS.

    When you choose to offer a solution to change the current situation, it asks you to take the 'responsibility' for the same. This mindset helps you believe that you are NOT helpless, change IS possible and YOU can drive it!

  • Do

    DO

    This step is about creative agency and the ability to take timely action.

    Why is it Important?

    It develops EXCELLENCE.

    'Action' that follows 'intention' results in desired 'impact'. Furthermore, the focus on details allows the action to improve the 'quality' of the experience, building a habit for excellence.

  • Share

    SHARE

    The final step is 'Share' - cultivating the abundance mentality.

    Why is it Important?

    It develops ELEVATION

    Elevation is the shift from 'competing' with others to 'completing' others. Inherent in this step is the belief that the 'I CAN' spirit offers hope and inspiration for further change.

    Go ahead, be a storyteller and shamelessly inspire others to 'Be the Change'!

FIDS Cards

The FIDS cards are set of visual cards, designed under the four steps of FEEL-IMAGINE-DO-SHARE which allow teachers to easily delve into each step. While playing with the cards, students build the key sub- skills associated with each step.

Feel cards build observation, listening and understanding multiple perspectives,Imagine cards build Critical Thinking and Creativity,Do cards help children plan their act of change. Share cards allow children to think of different ways to spread their story and inspire others. The cards thus act as triggers for Observation (Feel), Brainstorming(Imagine), Planning(Do) and Sharing (Share).

The cards can be used all together or individually depending on the need identified by the teacher/parent
