Main themes
The seminar allows students to explore social issues in relation to the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals and the EU's goal of a people-centred economy.  The Sustainable Development Goals create changes in social hierarchy, behaviour, organisational models and reshape the social context.  The seminar offers a framework for participatory reflection on various themes: increasing inequalities, poverty, exclusion, etc. and proposes to reflect on innovative solutions for greater inclusion.  The link between the environmental and social pillars of sustainable development is also addressed (social dimensions of climate change: depletion of natural resources, food, water, loss of biodiversity, urbanisation, population growth).
