Following a discussion of unsatisfactory conditions or situations in the country of origin or the host country (country of residence), students brainstorm ideas about possible suggestions to ameliorate the situation and to whose attention concrete suggestions could be directed, or what an appeal to the media would look like, respectively. They then discuss and write appropriate texts. Whether the appeal will be sent to the intended appropriate recipient or remains a fictitious text will have to be decided for each individual effort.

Examples: an appeal or letter of protest to the president or the parliament in the home country about a current crisis or situation; a letter or appeal to a party or institution that is hostile to foreigners in the students‘ country of residence.
