Objective Objective:

The Diploma Certificate Program on Energy Development and Social Inclusion will be carried out between OLADE and the University of Technology of Jamaica, whose aim is to improve knowledge on social, economic, environmental and legal aspects related to energy development and effectively address them through energy governance.

The Diploma Certificate Program will be taught in English for 6 weeks at the campus of the University of Technology of Jamaica, from October 5th to November 13th, 2015, Monday through Friday, between the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. (Jamaica time).

Target Audience Target Audience:

The Program is aimed primarily at officials of the Ministries and Secretaries of Energy of the Caribbean, but it can also be attended by officials from other Member Countries of OLADE who are interested.

Professionals from public institutions not related to the energy field, private companies, universities, associations, international organizations and other private stakeholders in the energy sector are also invited to be part of the program.

For this group, the cost of the Diploma Certificate Program is USD 12.000. This amount includes the cost of airfare, lodging, meals, travel insurance and academic credits.

A detailed description of the courses and their specific content will be provided. Each course will have 50 hours of classroom work.

First Course Modules I and II: Energy - Society & Sociology of Socio-environmental Conflict These modules will show an understanding of the types of energy, their interaction with environmental problems and their impact on social dynamics. It also includes a discussion on the availability of energy in rural areas with case studies (social projects). The issue of socio-environmental conflicts that are currently being generated around energy projects will be addressed. A comparative perspective will be developed considering the contributions given by political science and sociology of social movements and the environment, encompassing theories of conflict management and raising questions about the constitution of actors, the dynamics of the conflict, the role of the States, trading strategies and search for solutions, the weight of legal frameworks, the legitimacy of the rules and procedures, efficiency or effectiveness political systems to regulate social conflict, and the institutionalization of such conflicts to ensure a democratic treatment.
