Toronto: Green transformation
30 June to 11 July 2025.
The summer school 'Green transformation' is a 2-week course that substitutes one of the electives during your programme. This summer school aims to develop and train innovative and competent graduates who can create action within sustainability and green transformation. The main focus is to improve the student's ability to take action through an entrepreneurial mindset, utilising innovative skills like design thinking and sustainability knowledge. Students will work on relevant cases for local companies or communities, following a design thinking process and culminating in prototype solution pitches.
Through this summer school, we aim to change students' behaviour (transformative learning) through knowledge, learning, skills, motivation, and competencies to act toward, and for a sustainable future. The summer school will teach sustainability frameworks, train design thinking processes, and develop mindsets that promote transformative learning.
You will get knowledge, skills and competencies that are highly attractive in today’s labour market and develop your sustainability competencies and enhance your ability to become change agents. Therefore, the summer school will be developed and implemented based on the four complementary and interdependent competency areas, also known as entrepreneurial dimensions: :
- Action
- Creativity
- Interaction with the external environment
- Personal attitude
