COLB13-200: Global Challenges 2

Description

Global Challenges 2 provides students with an opportunity to further explore the complexities and potential solutions of the types of problems identified within Global Challenges 1. This innovative subject is the second stage in a series of two subjects that encompass project-based investigation of prominent global challenges, allowing students to integrate their theoretical understanding and practical experience to design and develop a methodology to address a chosen challenge. Global challenges are typically highly complex and difficult to define, with the solution to such problems often evolving into unintended consequences that require resolution of a new problem. Students will study the complexities of global challenges within a dynamic social context encouraging the exploration and integration of multiple perspectives.
