This course focuses on stories of place and experiences of belonging. You will learn about Indigenous and local perspectives and practices as you begin to consider our shared futures within the fashion and textiles industry.

Place and community are explored from different perspectives including local and global, personal and disciplinary. Activities such as observing, sharing, listening and reflecting are framed as ways of learning, doing and knowing that seek common ground. Through the course you will work towards establishing strong relationships and making connections that will enable you to identify shared human responsibilities toward place and community, as well as developing skills to reflect on and share your own perspectives in relation to the field of fashion and textiles.
