Assignment Brief Based on any article you like  that talks about CSR and sustainability

Blogs, Poem, vlogs, reflections, discussions.....

Throughout the module we are creating an interactive and co-created learning community. Your contribution of materials, questions to explore, and reflections will give specific direction and relevance to the course. In this course we are exploring sustainability in business and the future necessity to approach sustainability from a systemic viewpoint, we will also research what new business will look like when we live according the regenerative economy. This comprehends a shift in values, modes of production, and the very fabric of our economy and therefore are not separate from the attitudes, beliefs and assumptions we hold about ourselves and about the world. In the end, the economy is a reflection of our mental models. 

In the blogs, vlogs, discussions and reflections, you are invited to explore the questions and insights you develop throughout this course concerning the practices you encounter, to be daring and creative in your reflections and generous in sharing your thoughts with the community. We see learning as a social process, so your contributions on the blog are evaluated in terms of their value for the learning community and depth of reflection.

Feeding back into the community

Each of us add to the learning of the entire community, and you are invited to lead by example. As we all learn in different ways (cognitive, conceptual, experimental, experiential, observing), you are free to contribute in ways that are most meaningful to you. Albeit I do encourage you to be experimental and daring. The more authentic your contributions, the more likely your particular perspective is to inspire others. This will provide the community with the richness and variety that allows the community to learn as a whole.

After lecture 4 you will feed your insights, judgements, ideas, reflections etc. back into the community in your own way. This can be that you write a column, a blog, make a vlog, a poem, a song, a painting etc. You will share this contribution on the Discussion Board on WorldClassRoom. You are asked to comment on at least three other blogs by peers, but feel free to upload as many reactions as you like.
