One of the questions that gets asked a lot in the jury presentations in the Master Service Design of the HSLU is:

"What's the impact?"

At first I didn't like that question. But I slowly got to like it when you look at it from a wide perspective.

Knowing this question will come pushes learners to reflect on the impact they want to create. That's a good thing. Especially if it pushes the learners to explore what type of impact they are interested in. Do they want:

• personal impact
• social impact
• economical impact
• organizational impact
• etc.

Do they want to have a small but deep impact or a very large surface level impact?

Not every learner, speciality and project defines impact in the same way. And this question of impact pushes the learner to say: "for me, in my context, with my goals and my philosophy here is the type of impact I pursued."

Once you have that answer you can then argument it, show evidence for it, tell the story of it.
