Laboratory: Sustainability and Sustainable Development

The laboratory, sponsored by SHuS and By Campus sostenibile-UniMi, is intended for Italian-speaking students without distinction of faculty affiliation or BA and MA courses. It is strictly multi- and inter-disciplinary and based on case studies of global impact and scope, but also contextual, that is, putting the student in a position to understand the functioning of the same institution he/she lives in and what skills it offers in terms of sustainability.

The path has been studied according to an inverted pyramidal structure: from the environment to the social context, to reach the person and his/her choices. The goal is to involve students in a participatory way in reflecting, elaborating, and reproducing, with active commitment, sustainable behaviours and choices, both over the years of study and in their daily lives and in their life choices and work commitment. The course consists of a session common to all [Brainstorming session] in 8 h and a series of sessions for six formative credits (cfu) credits [48h] organized in 6 Themes. Some teachings are repeatable, others fixed every year, to meet the widest range of expectations, but also the evolution of the concept of sustainability in a path that will develop at least until 2030.
