What’s involved?

Studio participants will undertake a residential experience in Gladstone from the 18-25 March, where you will engage in community meetings, site tours, community workshops, pitching presentations and group work.

During this period, you will have the opportunity to apply your social innovation, leadership, collaborative, design and entrepreneurial talents to create lasting social impact. You will be challenged with the task of facilitating engagement with the community, utilising and applying human-centered design and co-design approaches to produce unique and innovative ideas.

How can I participate?

There are two options:

1. Students can gain unit credit by enrolling in the unit BUSN19021 Project and participating in the SISG3 residential component, plus successfully completing the required unit tasks and assessment requirements.
