Case Study Analysis

Brief: Students will research, identify and analyse cases where groups of people have successfully self-organised to solve a problem or create new possibilities within their communities. These case studies must come from a local bottom-up initiative (which may or may not be connected to other hierarchical organisations), and should relate to a cause that the student wants to support. In general, these cases should be driven by self-determined groups of citizens, where they proposed new behaviours which challenge mainstream market trends, and are successfully re-defining the value of money, time, relationships, well-being, etc.

Students will critically analyse how each case is related to the local context but still part of a global network in a socially sustainable and culturally sound manner.
