Subject outline
Global challenges have local impacts. In this subject students reflect on one of five global and local (i.e., #glocal#) challenges: either (1) migration and refugees, (2) gender inclusion and exclusion challenges, (3) policing and terrorism, (4) social and economic inequality, or (5) climate change. Students choose one of these and consider its impact on their local community. Supported and yet self-guided online modules invite exploration and encourage critical reflection of the topic chosen. Face-to-face activities in workshops practise job-ready skills. This subject dealing with local aspects of global challenges enables students, step-by-step, to conceive, refine and develop innovative responses to their chosen challenge. This subject addresses the La Trobe #Innovation and Entrepreneurship# Essential by equipping you to think globally and respond locally.
