Introduction<\/span><\/h3>\n
\n
\n\nYou are a part of a global effort to increase access to education and empower students through \"open pedagogy.\"\u00a0 Open pedagogy is a \"free access\" educational practice that places you - the student - at the center of your own learning process in a more engaging, collaborative learning environment.\u00a0\u00a0The ultimate purpose of this effort is to achieve greater social justice in our community in which the work can be freely shared with the broader community.\u00a0\u00a0This is a renewable assignment that is designed to enable you to become an agent of change in your community through the framework of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).\u00a0 For this work, you will integrate the disciplines of English; SDG #1 and SDG #4 to achieve SDG #01: No Poverty\n\n<\/div>\n

Learning Objectives<\/h3>\nIntervention: the act of interfering in outcomes or processes, particularly to prevent harm or improve functioning.\n\nThis assignment invites you to make a creative intervention by using your knowledge and skills to improve outcomes, processes, and\/or relationships. Your project should engage with themes and texts from this course (resistance, resurgence, de\/colonization, gender and sexuality, reconciliation and-or land) and at least one United Nations Sustainable Development Goal in order to create a product that intervenes in a dialogue or community of your choosing. Possible creative interventions could include (but are not limited to): teaching\/learning resources, art (visual, creative writing etc), or media (a webpage, article, or digital resource). In addition to the final product, you will have to hand in a critical reflection (2-3 pages) that explains your product and purpose. A critical reflection sheet will be provided to help guide this writing. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals can be found here: https:\/\/ sustainabledevelopment.un.org\/?menu=1300\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<\/div>\n

During the first workshop, you will be grouped based on your project focus to discuss vision, scope, and resources. You will meet with the same group again after receiving proposal feedback from me. During your second workshop, you will discuss structure, problem solve challenges, and share what you have learned. Your grade for the workshops will be based on your preparation, your active participation, and brief in-class reflective writing exercises.\n\nPART II: 4 page project proposal.
