This capstone subject showcases sustainability in practice at a regional scale. The subject is immersive, interactive and practical.   For internal students the subject includes a week-long residency in Denmark WA in early December.  During the residency, field trips and case studies will cover: resilience; bioregionalism; sense of place; sustainable technologies; eco-entrepreneurism; and sustainable agriculture.  There are extra costs for this subject to cover accommodation and food.  External students will be expected to visit similar case studies in their own region.
