This project-based unit provides students with a unique opportunity, working in small cross-disciplinary teams, to explore courageous or experimental projects, without the pressure of having to produce something that is objectively 'successful'. Assessment in this unit will focus not upon the quality or otherwise of the group-driven creative outputs, but rather upon the reflective, individual exegetical and reflective components that accompany them.

2. Demonstrate flexibility in their planning and teamwork, to communicate their project effectively;
3. Apply their individual knowledge of global, cultural and indigenous contexts to their chosen project through reflective practice; and
4. Experiment with ideas and methodology relevant to the creative industries in which they and their teams are operating.
