Individual design journal & reflection: ethical project plan.
You will be given an ethical enterprise or project planning template to develop the relationships between your personal values, talents or skills, resources, audience or beneficiary (people whom you are helping with your idea), and quality-of-life statements towards project goals. This task is about transforming ethically motivated ideas into practical solutions for real-life application.
You will study examples in class and workshop your own template as preparation.
You are invited to choose a project area that you are passionate about and study/research ONE exemplar compassionate response to a similar problem.
Complete your own version of the diagram and provide a 1000 word reflection on this kind of project /business as one document.
Include minimum 5 assigned-reading-references and 1 researched exemplar project (from Google scholar) that show the sources of information and inspiration for your project.
You may include up to 3 pictures (12cm x 17cm) from your research or photographs by yourself, (or a sketch or diagram), and acknowledge the source if the picture is not your own.
Regarding academic integrity and not plagiarising (sharing work or cheating) we would not expect two students to have the same answer as the assessment is about your individual design because the assessment is about your individual response to an issue.
