Omschrijving Vrije info 1 (EN)

This course brings together students from different programmes with a common goal: to understand and tackle current challenges. In the first seven weeks, students gain insights into worldviews, sustainability, ethics, systems thinking and social innovation. Through theory, reflection and interactive working methods, students explore how global challenges such as inequality, ecological degradation and technological disruption are linked to individual and collective choices. In the following seven weeks, students work in groups on a social, ecological or cultural problem. They develop a solution-oriented project, including an impact analysis, based on desk research and interviews with stakeholders, among other things.
The focus is on interdisciplinary collaboration, critical thinking, global citizenship and sustainable action.
The language of this course is English, which mean that international students can also participate.
