Holistic assessment

• As a group, present a case study of your own choice to the cohort that represents a real-world example of a cultural endeavour that has sought to inspire social innovation or societal change (summatively assessed).

• Individually, select and use a model of CSR or social innovation to develop your own cultural project. This can be presented either as a written report, or can take the form of an online intervention such as a blog or a website; in either case, it should comprise 2,000 words (summatively assessed).
