PDC104256 - Building your Changemaker Profile

Course Details

Course Summary

The Building Your Changemaker Profile at CQUniversity micro-credential builds on the iChange course offered as an introduction to social innovation at CQUniversity. The content and activities will help you understand, reflect on and develop your own unique Changemaker profile. This is important in social innovation and changemaking activities as we seek to understand ourselves in relation to the world, uncovering what we are passionate about, and where we might be best placed to contribute to positive changemaking. You will learn about the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, and work through a self assessment process to enable you to identify your own changemaking archetype, find your “why” using the Japanese principle of Ikigai, and develop a Changemaker mindset. 

This micro-credential will help you develop the following CQU Social Innovation Mindsets:

  1. Empathy & self-awareness
  2. Collaborative leadership
  3. Systems perception
  4. Deep curiosity
  5. Creativity and imagination.

This online micro-credential provides a non-creditable micro-credential and digital badge which can be shared to your social networks and displayed in your professional portfolio.

Our micro-credentials are aligned to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Course Structures

Study Mode Definitions

  • Online: Online courses provide the flexibility to study without normally requiring a student to visit a campus. Course content is studied through a number of means including the use of online discussion forums, electronic library resources, by contacting lecturers and teachers, and receiving study materials online/electronically. Work integrated learning, including placements, may be included in some courses.
  • On-campus: Students studying in on-campus mode typically are expected to attend and participate in regular, structured on-campus teaching and learning activities throughout the University’s academic term. These activities may include lectures, tutorials, workshops and practice, online or other activities and normally will be timetabled at a CQUniversity campus or approved delivery site.
  • Mixed Mode: Students studying in mixed mode will participate in a combination of online learning activities in addition to site-specific learning activities, which may include residential schools, co-op placements and/or work-integrated learning as a compulsory requirement of a unit. The additional site-specific learning activities are what differentiates a mixed-mode unit from an online unit.
