Alongside 24 national and international experts such as Jean-Paul Moatti, Maria Snoussi, Jean-Michel Severino and Cynthia Fleury, students will discover a comprehensive reading list on the challenges faced by all organizations in the areas of health, environment, equality, governance, and responsibility.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
The MOOC learning objectives are structured based on a twofold approach: Getting informed: understanding the vision, agenda and challenge of the SDGs for collective action. Mobilizing: encouraging the desire to get involved or to continue one's involvement in order to contribute to achieving the SDGs and moving towards a new global citizenship.
TEACHING METHODS & ACTIVITIES
The MOOC is based on a teaching system that combines different learning formats: 35 videos from experts from developed and developing countries, reading of educational resources, quizzes, reflective exercises, peer evaluation, and a forum to discuss the topics covered during the course.
WHAT WILL YOU GET OUT OF THIS TRAINING COURSE?
Throughout the MOOC, you will develop a better understanding of the challenges of the SDGs and be able to analyze their synergies and interrelationships. You will learn about the various stakeholders' contributions (governments, local authorities, non-state actors, and mobilizing forces) towards implementing the SDGs. As a result, you will be equipped to commit to achieving the SDGs as a socially aware citizen. Moreover, at the end of the training course, you will be able to obtain a follow-up certificate if you successfully complete certain activities.
