What youwill study.
Working within a Global Citizenship Educational framework, and focusing on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, specifically UN SDG2 Zero Hunger, participants will use design thinking to explore and generate solutions to a complex problem affecting our global community. This course develops leadership skills required to begin designing, managing, and advocating for accessible food systems in various contexts. Participants will gain insight into food policy analysis, agricultural practices, supply chain resilience, and community-based hunger solutions offered in differing global spaces. Using case studies, participants will investigate the interconnectedness of local, regional, and world-wide contributors to both maintaining and breaking down barriers to food security. By the end of the course, participants will inspire to lead initiatives that secure equitable food access, reduce waste, and protect natural resources for future generations.
This course includes academic research, class discussions, cross-cultural collaboration, problem-solving, and effective presentations, as well as setting an example through inspiring leadership.
