PROJECTIONS Over the next ten years, the collection ofmaterials and incorporation of school spirit in thecommunity and school should continue to be developed. The time capsule will be opened in ten years. People who wrote letters will open them and on the back of the letter, they should write a description of what has changed. The investigation then will be about the impact of the project on the sense of community and on the improvements in the sense of belonging to the school in the past ten years and continue into the future. creativitymachine.net
RECOMMENDATIONS The area of Community Outreach (Proyeccion a la Comunidad) Should have some type of control through surveys. The idea with these surveys is to know how the perception of the students and the community changes over time. Due to the fact that the sense of community is a process in time, there are lots of rituals that should be kept, as well as many other aspects. (Events, mutual respect, etc.) creativitymachine.net
