Past Projects
The Goggles Project
In 2005, Dr. Tarah Wright commissioned a two year study investigating Canadian universities鈥� stances on sustainability. The findings were so provoking and the topic so timely, that we could not let the results simply end up as a bound report sitting on shelves. Thus was born Rethink University and The Goggles Project - a conceptual platform to engage higher education stakeholders in conversations about sustainability. The Goggles Project used a quirky troupe of travelling players who both collected and disseminated powerful thoughts on the role that universities can play in creating a sustainable world. The tour went from coast to coast and visited over 17 universities.
