interactive storytelling journalistic writing digital curation interviewing skillsThis project involves creating a curated narrative and exhibit showcasing the stories of Ascent Soccer's nine global scholars. The goal is to highlight their journeys, achievements, and contributions. Students will gather and analyze information through bios, interviews, and photos to craft a compelling and cohesive narrative. The project will allow learners to apply their skills in research, storytelling, and multimedia presentation. By focusing on the scholars' diverse backgrounds and experiences, the exhibit aims to inspire and educate audiences about the impact of soccer, education and opportunity on personal and community development. The project can be completed by an individual or a team of learners from a single academic program, ensuring a unified approach to the tasks.
The deliverables for this project include a comprehensive exhibit featuring detailed bios, engaging interviews, and high-quality photos of the nine global scholars. The exhibit should be well-organized and visually appealing, with a clear narrative thread connecting each scholar's story. Additionally, a digital version of the exhibit should be created to ensure accessibility and wider reach. The final deliverables will be presented in both physical and digital formats, allowing for diverse audience engagement.

About the company
Ascent Soccer empowers talent and promise in Southeast Africa, as the greenest soccer club and academy on the continent.
We are a social impact organization that transforms the lives of young men and women in some of Southeast Africa’s poorest countries by providing opportunities for comprehensive education, critical life skills and character development -- combined with world-class soccer skill development.
Based in Malawi, with registered charity operations in the USA and Canada, Ascent was founded in 2014 and works with over 85 boys and girls carefully selected from across Southeast Africa. Ascent graduates have gone on to win life-changing scholarships at elite global boarding schools, with other Ascent scholars representing the academy in youth national teams and at major European club tournaments. Ascent’s vision is to guide youth to realize and reach their potential, growing into exceptional young men and women who not only re-invest in their own communities, but provide opportunities for the success of future graduates.
Many grassroots projects spread their resources across thousands of participants over short periods, with the goal to reach as many deserving young people as possible. Combined with that mission, we also aim to drive systemic, lasting change by invest deeply in talent, desire and promise, catalyzing a small but mighty group of young leaders to leverage the opportunities and platform provided by Ascent Soccer, across Southeast Africa.
