Would you like to join the global Design for Change community and give your team the opportunity to be selected to take part in the annual global gathering “Be the Change”? The programme for the DFC Greece “I CAN” School Challenge 2026 has just begun, so you can start implementing your project straight away. The final deadline for submitting your project is Sunday, 3 May 2026.
The solution proposed by the students should be submitted via the dedicated form at the following link:
https://challenge.dfcworld.org/
A sample version of the form is also available here:

As you will see in the example, you will need to describe in detail the steps you followed at each stage. For this reason, it would be helpful to keep notes during the implementation of the project, as well as to collect photographic material. You may either upload this material or use it to create a short video.
Important reminder: if students’ faces appear in the photographs or videos, you must have obtained written consent from their parents or guardians.
After the submission deadline, the projects will be evaluated by a committee, which will examine whether the F.I.D.S. methodology (Feel–Imagine–Do–Share) has been followed and whether the active involvement of the students in the process is clearly demonstrated.
In June, the children will present their work during an online national celebration, where the five schools selected to showcase their projects at the global “Be the Change” Celebration in November 2026 — which this year will be held in Athens — will be announced.
For further clarification, an online meeting in Greek has been scheduled for Monday, 9 March 2026 at 19:00 (EET), during which educators from our team will discuss any questions or concerns you may have. The meeting will take place via Webex at the following link:
