Hey everyone! I've had this thought cross my mind recently. Since cyber-bullying is becoming such a big problem around the world, I've thought about gathering students from different IB world schools and share, or post information about cyber-bullying. This could be counted as a CAS activity for you since you're raising awareness for something and helping people around the world. Would anyone be willing to initiate this with me? If you have more ideas/advice, feel free to post them, I'm open for any suggestions. Also, I'll be using blogger (blogspot.com) for this, so you (sadly) will have to -
Okay hi everyone! I'm new to the site and this is my first post so be nice.. My CAS coordinator suggested that i should set up a website for the IB community in our school because I'm quite good with technology and computers so I accepted. Now the problem is, I want it to look as professional as i can make it look. By that I mean it should be at least up to the standard as an amateur forum. I just wanted to ask how i could set up a page like this one, what software i need to use, any code needed? Thank you in advance!

Hey guys, I had a quick question -- I have recently heard that students cannot have any gaps in their CAS timeline. In other words, I heard that we are expected to have at least one ongoing CAS experience throughout all of Grade 11 and 12. Is this true?

Hello, fellow IB students! How are you doing during your quarantine time and social distancing? Recently my CAS adviser told me that even if we are at quarantine, it should not be an excuse for not doing Activity and Service in CAS. I know doing Activity and creativity is quite much simple rather than doing Service, since at this state of circumstances I'm not allowed to go outside. So, I wonder if anyone from other IB schools around the world has the same struggle and is trying to find possible Service ideas for CAS. Any ideas and help will be appreciated! Stay safe! 🗿 -
Hey, for my CAS project, I am doing a Pen Pal project with some DP and MYP kids at my school. If you are interested in participating in this project, the only requirements are: you are currently either a DP or MYP student and you go to school outside of the US and Canada.

Hi everyone! I have been focusing a lot on my CAS experiences to try to get them out of the way from the second year apart for two/three that I normally do. I have done tons of creativity, service and activity. According to Mange Bac, I have 100% of my CAS done and I have not uploaded some of my reflections on the site yet. The experiences I plan to keep are only Service and Activity, there would be no creativity. I did a service trip with my school and there we did so much stuff about creativity I think it would be more than enough. So I was wondering if I had to keep doing -
I was hoping to start a blog in order to add up to my creativity section of CAS but I'm not sure if I can do it since it will not have any supervisor. Can I make my CAS coordinator sign it or do i even need a supervisor for such CAS? Thanks for the help! -
My school's CAS coordinator met with all the juniors after school this past week. He said that if we were doing a CAS activity outside of school, we had to get a letterhead paper from the activity's supervisor (Ex: doing Creativity hours by going to a piano lesson where I am being supervised by my piano teacher) describing what you did. He never specified that you needed a reflection for it. However, I've heard that you have to do a reflection on the activity, get it signed by your advisor, and you're all set. This has left me really confused. If anyone knows what to do, please tell me!

Hi I was planning to do a runathon myself where I ask people to give me money for each lap/km that I do. I am not very good at running so the planning part is where I improve my own running skills. The fund gathered will then be gathered to a charity that I haven't decided upon yet. There is also an app that I've found online which makes them donate money to a charity of my choice for the distance that I've ran. I want to ask if this sounds like an acceptable CAS project, if not how can I make it one or what are some other suggestions.

Dividing CAS Hours for organizing a TEDx
garg.molugarg posted a topic in Creativity, Action, Service
Hello! This is my first post on the forum. Basically, my friend and I organized a TEDx Conference at our school, and spent roughly 3 months organizing it, from getting speakers, setting stages and getting materials. Anyways, when we went to our CAS Supervisor he only gave us 18 hours for the event - 8 Creativity and 10 Service - for the event, saying that we made the posters and promotional material in about 2 days so 8 hours of creativity for that, and we spent about 10 hours of running around, 8 on the event day, and 2 before that so 10 hours of activity total and 0 service hours. -
Hey everyone! My friends and I wanted to create a magazine sort of thing which has advice on how to survive the IB for the pre-IB students at our school and anyone who is starting the DP programme. We were wondering if that idea could count for CAS, specifically creativity. It will involve designing the actual magazine as well as writing the posts. Would that be approved by IB for creativity hours?

Hi guys! I am struggling with coming up with more ideas for service. I am currently volunteering at a cat shelter and I am going to volunteer at a home for old people. If you have any ideas or something that you did for service please post them, it would be really helpful.

I was wondering apart from school activities how did/do you complete CAS service hours since it's kinda difficult to find good community service areas in India? Or at least in Mumbai. There's no soup kitchen that I know of nor can we help out at some local library so... Any ideas?

So school's starting real soon and I have no idea how the CAS thing works. How many hours / activities do I have to complete throughout the 2 years? If I start a CAS Project, does it count towards CAS hours?

Hi everyone! If you're looking for CAS and are interested in the world and its happenings – this is for you. We are looking for new writers for Young Diplomacy, an online journal voicing the youth's perspective on foreign affairs. I just completed my IB and so I know for a fact that this counts for both creativity and service for CAS. Article topics are free of choice, just need to pertain to current world events! If you're interested, message me or email [email protected] Alexia

Hey, I am in the summer between grade 11 and 12, and for my service during the summer, I wanted to go work for a few hours per week at an orphanage. I will probably be helping out with the kids and entertain them and stuff. Will this be considered as Service? And whose Email-Id should I put as supervisor on managebac?

Hey everyone! I'm putting together a zine about how to survive the first year of IB, and I want to include some stories of great CAS projects to get people inspired! Did anybody do anything cool for CAS? I would love to hear what you got up to!

So me and my friend are looking for CAS activities to do together. Personally, I think I'm doing fine on CAS hours given that I'm around 90ish hours in at the end of my first semester in the DP. (I know that CAS is no longer recorded in hours, but it's a nice way of measuring how my progress is.) -- So currently, my activities are: Creativity: - Learning how to play the Piano - Computer Club Activity: - Waterpolo - Swim-training (both recorded under one activity) Service: - Teaching Dutch to small Dutch children - In-school clothes recycling - Assisting in organisation of swimming tourname

Hey guys! So the idea I had for my CAS project was to create a website that would help new IB students with their transition into the program by offering tips, study techniques and other helpful bits of information. I thought it would be really nice to get IB students from around the world involved to see how people from different countries are approaching the program study and extra curricular wise. If you are interested please PM me and I'll add you to a Google doc I made so we can all exchange ideas xx
