#  Action 

 



 For the next step, teachers can use the framework for a civic [inquiry](/case-study) project about present issues. In an inquiry project, students investigate civic participation cases that matter to them. The Ten Questions can be used as main points of investigation. Inquiry projects concern divergent formats including research projects, political discussion, and media source analysis.  
Next students can bring knowledge they accumulated from inquiry projects into [action](/example-5-youth-participatory-action-research) projects to make change in the future. Action projects involve a range of activities, including civic media-making, alliance building, and participation strategy development (e.g. contacting political officials or other influencers).
