Gdes3003 - 2012 Cohort

As mentioned in sessions, we've started broad and covered some of the key areas affecting both large organisations (and thus us and the promo companies that work for them). We've already covered both climate change and the challenges with the oil economy and some have also attended Dr Kat Eames' useful lunchtime lecture on the science of Climate Change too. If you check-out the Transition Network too at this stage you might find how people and communities are starting to do something about the two issues mentioned above also..

The founder of the Transition Network (Rob Hoskins) did a good TED video talk in 2009 that helps summarise some of the issues involved:



We've continued our module by looking at what traditional packaging has been like in the past, how past communities knew instinctively to work with nature and the materials at hand. In particular Traditional Japanese packaging is a good example of this - with both the more agricultural and the artisan aspects to it.

Here's a couple of examples from your eventual quick workshop designs:

Team Rossouw







Here's a selection of your learning journal blogs for this year (below). I'll be monitoring them all from time to time and commenting where appropriate on them too as you add additional research and devts each week.
