This capstone unit will give you the opportunity to bring together your learnings and apply sustainability knowledge and literacy to aspects of your own life, and to identify how it can contribute to sustainable outcomes within your wider community and globally. As a capstone to the Diploma of Sustainable Living, the unit integrates theory and practice of sustainable living within a systems thinking environment. You study social change as a dynamic, critical thinking process and examine techniques, frameworks, and tools for progressing sustainable living through contemporary, reflective facilitation methods. Interactive online activities will enable you to explore different approaches to systems thinking, where the interrelatedness and multidisciplinary nature of sustainability challenges and opportunities can be tackled. Our aim in teaching KGA107 is to demonstrate how the study of sustainability within the Geography and Spatial Sciences discipline can enhance your lived experience, and enable you to support your communities and organisations to participate in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. The unit will allow students to demonstrate how they can contribute to the creation of a fairer and more sustainable world. Students wishing to enrol in further studies might consider the Major in Sustainability. We teach in the belief that rigour and passion are a powerful combination in knowing the world so as to change it for the better. We hope you find studying Local Lives for a Sustainable Planet relevant, interesting, challenging and exciting! Students engage in 6 x 1.5 hour Online Interactive Forums and lecture content, online discussions and assessment tasks. Assessment is 100% internal (i.e., no examination) and enables you to actively engage with ideas and issues, reflect on your learning and learn collaboratively.
