COMM5030 Social Entrepreneurship Practicum

Postgraduate course

Project description

is designed in a flipped classroom format. Instead of passive consumers of content, students are expected to be leaders of their own learning, with the coaching and support of the teaching team. The course includes online modules, industry-skill tutorials, face-to-face action learning workshops, as well as genuine engagement with social entrepreneurs on a social entrepreneurship project. Through all these experiences students are expected to proactively maximise their own learning opportunities. There is an online workshop to enable international students to attend remotely. High engagement is requested of students participating online. This includes attending the livestreamed lecture at the scheduled time as group work and practical exercises happen within that session.
