Students will have the opportunity to research, debate and encounter a range of real life community and cultural situations, focusing on international perspectives. Students will have the opportunity to work collaboratively and creatively on a spatial design problem provided by the community, the process of which offers a deeper understanding of the complexities of community and culture. This in turn raises students’ awareness of their own communities. Through these processes students develop communication, problem solving skills and the independence essential to enter the senior years of the course.
