If So will that be counted under creativity?? and can anyone suggest me or give examples of long term C.A.S. project? Wait, are you creating a documentary movie about your school? If that's the case, then that definitely would be counted as a CAS project. However, I'm not the one who has the final decision. You gotta need the permission from your own CAS coordinator.And yes, that would be counted under creativity, and perhaps even service (if your school is planning to use your movie). There are lots of long term CAS projects that you can do:Action: Do some regular training excercise, jogging every week, or play for a table tennis club, etc, etc.Creativity: Learn a new language, learn how to play a new instrument, learn about programming, draw some paintings every week, making a blog about cooking (something like "Julie and Julia" 2009 movie), creating and monitoring a website on your own, composing some songs by yourself and publish them online, etc, etc.Service: Tutoring others for free would be an excellent idea here because it would benefit you a lot. Charity would also be really good, but a charity project is usually short-term. By the way, if you need some service hours, you should maybe try to contribute a lot to IB Survival (by helping other people on this community) and sign up as an IBS moderators or mini moderators. That doesn't only give you lots of wonderful CAS points, but this community would forever be grateful to you :lol: 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebu Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 Yes, making a documentary movie does count as creativity and if you talk about something significant, for instance a problem in your local area or teaching unprivileged kids english and using them as actors, you could even call it a service. There is actually a school-based CAS activity in our school that makes documentary movies called 'Ultimate Culture Club'. Hope this helped! 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigwillysolly Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 The best way to see if it counts is to ask your C.A.S. supervisor, if your school goes in for that kind of thing, having said that it would be a great surprise to me if it didn't count as C.A.S. Making a documentary had the potential to rack up many C.A.S. hours, doing the research, planing the film, learning to use the filming equipment, organising the other people involved, if you documentary is based around a subject you are taking your subject teacher would be a good person to ask for advice and also get him or her to sign of the C.A.S. hours you have obtained.

signore Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 YES, it counts for creativity and of it is something which serves the community, like an awareness video, it would count for service as well Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
