In this section you are given an introduction to the questions of sustainable economy, economic inequality and colonialism. The materials touch especially Africa, but you need to start choosing the country you will do the final report on, and study these matters from the point of view of that country. The final task in part 4 is related to the country you are participating in the student challenge. So if possible, don't do the last assignments until you know where you are going to go.
If you are not participating in HAMK in Africa student challenges, it is allowed to do the assignment about some country you are planning to go to or interested in (not your home country!).
