The two week courses aim to sensitize participants to the complex issues of
sustainable development in a global context, while also exploring issues
pertinent to different regions, through course work, field trips, workshops,
group work, discussions and practical learning experiences, combined with
social and cultural activities. The courses offer a unique opportunity to
experience inter and trans disciplinary education, network building and cross
cultural exchange within a vibrant international environment of students,
faculty and guest experts. <br>

A maximum of 40 places are available for each course. All participants must
have a good working command of English, be between the age of 20 and 30 years

courses will be held entirely in English and applications are welcomed from
diverse disciplines and nationalities. More information on the courses is
