Hi guys!
\nWhat\u2019s up? Hanh\u2019s back everyone! How\u2019s life in quarantine going? Hope that\neveryone is doing super well \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I figured that no one has ever described a course in detail ever before in a \u201cnon-course syllabus\u201d way or depict how exciting a course can get in previous blogs. A thought flashed through my mind saying that why not try to create a course review just like a product or movie review, right? At the end of the day, many of us would be puzzling with a question: \u201cIs this course worth the time to invest in?\u201d. So, in today\u2019s blog, I would like to share with you about my amazing and practical experience attending a project course at Hanken, namely Project Course in CSR and Humanitarian Logistics. This course is actually a compulsory for those who pursuing their Master Degree in International Strategy & Sustainability and Humanitarian Logistics program. However, this is open to other students in other faculties as well, if someone is eager to contribute to the good of society through a meaningful project. Stated a quote directly from the course syllabus, which I found quite true for myself:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The aim of the course was to immerse the students in questions related to CSR by analysing and solving real-world problems provided by case organisations and then presenting the results in class. Among the cases were questions regarding the CSR of family-owned businesses, producing videos about sustainability and CSR and making guidelines about CSR for startup companies.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There were 16 projects, with various\nparticipating companies ranging from UPM, Fazer, or even Hanken itself to MSF\nor UFF in total for this year. Each student is free to choose and apply for\nthree projects in descending order of interest based on the informed project\ntopic (Freedom of choice is always a smart strategy to execute, especially on\nstudents :D). According to the application preference of the candidate for the\nchosen projects, the organizational and academic mentors will pick out the most\nsuitable candidate for the project. As a creativity and curiosity-driven type\nof person, the idea of designing a museum content about natural disaster for\nHeureka – a Finnish science museum immediately captured my attention and I\ndecided to go for it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the course of the project extending\nfrom the beginning of P3 to the end of P4 in Spring semester, I was assigned to\na team of 4 and we worked closely with Heureka on the project. Briefly\ndescribing about my project, Heureka is planning to create an exhibition about\nnatural disaster and resilience in which will be consisted of four experience\nrooms illustrating the effects of the disasters and 4 interaction rooms\nallowing the visitors to interact with the content embedded in the exhibit. In\nthis stage of partnership, we were tasked to create research-supported ideas\nfor the interaction rooms of the exhibit, each relating to one of four natural\ndisasters which can either be floods, storms, bushfires or earthquake. Throughout\nour project, we were able to produce more than 20 in-depth ideas for the\ninteraction rooms based on the theory of disaster relief operations and game\ndesign. It was incredibly fun brainstorming the ideas with the team and\npresenting them to Heureka museum designers \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Attached herewith are the footage of our meeting sessions at Heureka. Very informal and exciting atmosphere. Every time meeting with Heureka, we were filled with joy of exploring the museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
