Content and concept

The course proposes to reflect on participation and contributions for sustainability transformation from the perspective of knowledge generation. We will focus on sustainability from the point through lectures and workshop style methodology; for an understanding of political participation of social movements. We will emphasize in social learning and the adoption of a transdisciplinary approach to the interface between science, policy and practice. The inspiration will be local proposals to global changes, mainly examples of South-North North, and their pragmatic responsible towards sustainability.

There are 2 threads under which sessions will be organized in the seminar:
1. Interface of Science, Policy and Practice, resonance with social movements from North and South.
2. Understanding meta topics- transformative, transgressive and transdisciplinary learning.

Objective

It is expected that at the end of the seminar, we have:

1) Develop broader understanding of the concept of sustainable development

Other

This seminar will integrate North-South-South-North knowledge and requires an explicit motivation to intercultural dialogues.
