This 3-week online course focuses on using participatory methods as essential transdisciplinary and cross-sectoral tools for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). During the online sessions, participants will reflect on the local socio-environmental challenges in their home countries, the potential consequences beyond the local, and how global issues can be addressed through local actions. In addition, climate change and biodiversity loss are used as entry points to provide participants with new technical knowledge while building soft skills related to cross-cultural communication, mediation, civic engagement and partnerships.
