The aim of this module is to give students an opportunity to explore grand challenges facing our global society and to propose imaginative solutions to specific challenges in one or more country.

Students will critically reflect on the United Nations Sustainability Development Goals and think about how Loughborough University's Creating Better Futures. Together Strategy might contribute to them.

Students will engage with ideas and approaches to possible solutions from their own programme and gain diverse insights from Loughborough University London's interdisciplinary ecosystem.

This module aims to prepare students to elaborate and assess strategies developed to promote products, services, and ideas.

Students will take part in debates and practical exercises to experiment with the roles of creating such strategies, pitching them to audiences, and evaluating them against a defined brief.

Topics covered include the current promotional culture we live in, the advantages and risks of reaching visibility, the role of stories and framings in promotional strategies, the relationship between institutions promoting ideas and audiences adopting or challenging them, and the variety of technologies employed in promotional actions, all traversed by reflections about ethics and EDI.

The combination between conceptual explorations and practical exercises aims to prepare students to jobs that involve public communication (health campaigns, environmental risk awareness, policy adoption, etc.), advocacy (citizen mobilisation actions, behaviour change, political engagement), influence and leadership (platform content creation, internet personalities, political campaigning), and marketing (product or service positioning, context and audience awareness).

The module offers a unique opportunity to develop hands-on experience, skill-specific competencies, and industry-relevant knowledge to join the next generation of creative producers, innovators, entrepreneurs, content creators, and storytellers in the fast-growing digital experience economy.

Students will learn about and collaborate on real-world projects with leading creative organisations and companies (Sadlers Wells East, BBC Music Studios, 59Productions, ScreenSkills, etc.) fostering students career paths and prospects.
