Session details
You’ll attend your choice of not one, but two different workshops and see what it’s like to study business or criminology at uni – or both! Choose from:
Mass-produced clothing might be cheap to buy, but what’s the true cost to the planet – and the workers who make it? Learn how to resist the pressure of ever-changing retail trends so you can break the cycle of over-consumption for yourself.
When it comes to the law, things aren’t always black-and-white. Take a trip through the Victorian legal system as an expert criminologist, working in the grey areas of areas like injustice and social justice.
Experience different roles in a courtroom in the centre of a trial. Draw on previous cases to support the complainant or defendant under the guidance of current law students and academics.
Collaborate and compete to dream up and describe the most thought-provoking, entertaining object to exist in an alternative future – the more radical, the better!
Explore imaginative scenarios and activities that will challenge your preconceived ideas of how digital automation and AI really impacts your school, work, and social life – and what it could mean for the future.
Step into the world of sports event management, where sporting and business collide. See what it takes to plan major events like the Grand Final as you tackle common challenges, from market research to logistics.
