Posters are a great way to generate awareness about universal education in your school or community. Use them to publicize an event or to simply motivate others to take action.

Here are some tips…

• Grab attention: Use a striking statistic or fact to catch the reader’s attention.
• Bright and bold: Use bright colors to attract readers.
• Personal touch: Pictures and photos are also great ways to get someone to take a second look.
• Be sure to motivate: Instead of just giving a statistic, be sure to tell someone what they can do to make a difference. It could be to participate in an event or to go to the Global Campaign for Education USA website to take action.
