Success

How will we know when the LivingCampus is a success? There can be no single measure here.

The LivingCampus will be a success:

when there is a growing garden tended by community volunteers (from staff, students and the wider community) that provides a long term change in behaviour;
when local and regional schools are visiting to take part in sustainability based education programmes;
when the LivingCampus produce is used as a the basis for teaching in hospitality - where menus are designed to use crops in season and the student centre café filled with the latest produce, all with interpretative information (or fashion students- materials; or health students - medicinal herbs; etc);
when there is an intensive programme of interpretative and education programmes provide action based learning experiences for formal and informal users of the campus;
when students arriving in Dunedin are inspired to establish their own gardens and provided with materials and advice to do so (and space if required);
when students from all disciplines are introduced to kai Māori and rauemi Māori and Mātauranga Māori through the LivingCampus;
when no lecturer asks "how is sustainability relevant to my course?" as there are learning opportunities from the LivingCampus for all disciplines;
when the LivingCampus demonstrably improves the sustainability of the campus (through composting, water management, safety and wellbeing);
when the habitat that celebrates all aspects of urban agriculture: community ownership; permaculture; heritage (of plants, agriculture systems, and place); and of technological development.
