This approach will prepare students to deepen their understanding of sustainability through active involvement in personal, campus and community projects and how these can impact the environments in which they operate, i.e., (1) How critical and creative thinking can be used to design projects that address complex and interrelated issues of sustainability (i.e., the interconnected nature of environmental, societal and economic health); (2) When a commitment to sustainability has challenged conventional practices and nurtured change; (3) How people can learn to work more cooperatively on negotiated solutions to complex problems; (4) Why deep listening can engender empathy and understanding for others and yourself; (5) How anger and emotion can be best understood and managed when confronting the challenges of sustainability; (6) What it takes to stay centered when aggressive or dysfunctional attitudes mix dangerously with ineffective policies and practices.
