JONATHAN: One example that comes to mind is a graduate who worked on a project to develop a sustainable community garden. By applying the impact assessment frameworks and stakeholder engagement skills they learned in the program, they were able to identify potential environmental and social risks, and develop strategies to mitigate them. The garden ended up becoming a thriving community hub, and the graduate was able to demonstrate the positive impact of their project. AMELIA: Wow, that's a great example. It's clear that this program is designed to equip students with practical skills that can be applied in a variety of contexts. What sets our program apart from others in this field?

This, combined with the opportunity to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world projects, makes our program truly unique.
