Would you like to make a difference to the world, but are not sure how, or where to start? This course invites students into a workshop environment with guest speakers from inside and outside the university. You will learn about the wide range of ways of contributing to global challenges, helping you to find directions that fit with your strengths and interests and to develop a sense of agency and empowerment. The focus of the course is on positive engagement with issues (not lectures on problems) and on solution-oriented action. You will come away from the course with increased clarity about the directions available to you, and an increased capacity to make a difference.
