Design for Change (DFC) is a global education movement that helps children (and their teachers/schools) **identify a real-world problem, design a solution, take action, and share the story** using a simple 4-step method called **FIDS: Feel, Imagine, Do, Share**.
# What it does in practice: * **Provides a repeatable method (FIDS) + “I CAN” mindset** so children practice empathy, creativity, teamwork, and agency by doing small, real projects in their communities. * **Gives schools/educators ready-to-use materials** (lesson plans, toolkits, posters, storybooks, etc.) so teachers can run projects without inventing everything from scratch. * **Runs challenges and story-sharing**: schools do projects, then **share them publicly** to inspire others and spread the approach. * **Operates as a network of country partners** (often one main partner per country/region) who localise, support schools, and connect them into global events and celebrations. * **Positions itself as “by and for children,” at global scale**, describing reach across 60+ countries and millions of children/teachers (numbers vary by page and date).

The most clearly “resource-like” page is the FIDS Toolkit and Resources section, which offers one-week and one-month toolkits and lesson plans, plus posters, storybooks, affirmation cards, and links out to other DFC resource sub-sites (lesson plans, cards, marketplace, and more) - dfcworld.org
The “Become a DFC Partner” page explains that DFC operates a partnership model with a single organisation per country or region, and describes what partners get access to, including global community, celebrations, partner meets, resources, and ongoing network calls - dfcworld.org
The website also hosts programme and celebration pages, such as the “I CAN Summit for Eduheroes,” which uses the same FEEL–IMAGINE–DO framing to describe a teacher-focused summit and its components - dfcworld.org
