Integrative Projects

Knowledge doesn't come in tidy packages, to be filed away under subject headings (see Integrated Curriculum) and beyond our daily making of connections between the class you're in and the other subjects you take, we also construct more elaborate, longer-term projects in which these connections can be experienced and explored.

The most exciting integrated project of last term was our field studies in Costa Rica. Led by University of Toronto and Dragon mentor Professor Dan Brooks, Dragon students spent 8 days at the Area de Conservacion Guanacaste in the northwestern part of the country, exploring the impact of environmental change, ecological awareness, democratic and responsible government, and scientific discovery on biodiversity and social structure.
