In version 3.0 QBC will focus on futureproofing students for a world that is rapidly changing. Within the context of a climate crisis, our society and economy are poised to make a transition to carbon free living. Opportunities abound for students trained in carbon economics, technology trends, entrepreneurship and service industry norms. This year QBC 3's guiding questions are:
1. Who am I?
2. How do I belong?
3. How can I add value to my community?
4. How can I futureproof myself?
