About the course
With a growing number of unsustainable environmental, economic and social trends, how can different actors work for sustainable alternatives? How can we develop capacities, strategies and tactics that achieve lasting and real changes in the local and global world?
To achieve a more vibrant and participatory sustainable development there is a need for great changes, both on the systemic and individual levels. These changes can take the form of fast-moving revolutions, but can also be more reformist initiatives such as social entrepreneurship in businesses or taking part in local politics. In the course, different actors and their strategies for change, globally and locally, are critiqued and analysed through discussions with guest lecturers and in workshops with fellow students. In the last part of the course, you work on a concrete change project, which builds on the discussions and insights gained during the first part of the course.
The course is offered at CEMUS, Centre for Environment and Development Studies, in a student-led educational model where students actively contribute to shaping the courses and their content, creating a student-centred learning environment.
