Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS) in the IB Diploma Programme Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS) is a mandatory core component of the IB Diploma Programme (DP). It encourages students to engage in meaningful, real-world experiences that promote personal growth, leadership, and global awareness. CAS Requirements & Structure Students are encouraged to engage in a variety of experiences across all three CAS strands, but the IB does not mandate a specific number of activities per category. One CAS project must last at least a month and address real-world challenges. Students must demonstrate the seven CAS learning outcomes, with activities contributing to multiple outcomes.
