Understand the Issues that Matter

Take on two of the biggest challenges facing the world in the 21st century - Social Justice and Workplace Ethics.

The Ethical Grand Challenges are interactive online and face-to-face activities that give you the tools you need to become a more socially responsible graduate. You will tackle social injustices and navigate ethical dilemmas in the workplace.

What do I need to do?

You will need to complete both Ethical Grand Challenges to achieve the Understand the Issues component of Stellify. To do so, follow the links below which will take you to your Canvas account where you can enrol in the Challenges and get started. The Social Justice Challenge and the Workplace Ethics Challenge are both online, will take around 1 hour, and can be completed in your own time around your studies. For the Workplace Ethics Challenge, there is also the option to attend a face-to-face Healthcare workshop.  Students in the School of Health Sciences will undertake the Healthcare workshop face-to-face in their first/final year. 

When do I need to do it by?

• For undergraduate students the Ethical Grand Challenges must be completed by the 31 May in your final year of study.
• For master's students the Ethical Grand Challenges must be completed by the 30 September in your graduating year.

How do I show I've done it? 

When you complete the online challenge in Canvas, your participation will be verified by a short multiple choice quiz or series of tasks in Canvas. The Challenge will show as complete in your Canvas account. If you attend a face-to-face workshop, you will need to sign the register on the day to prove that you attended. For undergraduate students the completed Ethical Grand Challenges will be uploaded to your Higher Education Achievement Report (HEAR) at the end of the academic year.
