Along with the work on their projects and the regular courses, students choose Short Seminars, which provide complementary competencies helping them to sharpen their practice. The seminar in Learning from Experts provides a stage for students to engage directly with practitioners in the field of eco-social design. Through interviews, visits, and online sessions with experts working across diverse sectors with an eco-social design focus (such as community-led development, public sector, social entrepreneurship, activism, industry, research, etc.), students gain first-hand insights into real-world practices, challenges, and strategies. They learn how different professionals approach the design and implementation of eco-social projects, what methodologies they use, and how they design within complex systems.
