COLB11-102: Global Challenges 2

Description

Global Challenges 2 builds on the foundation laid in Global Challenges 1, supporting students as they develop and refine potential responses to their chosen global challenge. Students explore strategies for influencing change, considering the social, political, economic, and cultural dimensions of their challenge. They engage with diverse perspectives and ethical considerations as they design and evaluate possible solutions. The subject encourages students to think adaptively and iteratively, recognising that solutions to complex problems must be context-sensitive and responsive to evolving conditions. In the final phase, students synthesise their work into a comprehensive report and presentation, learning how to communicate their findings to a broader audience and advocate for meaningful change.
