The course focuses on the meaning of Social Responsibility, its relationship with sustainability, and the international community and business environment. Several topics will be covered: Sustainability, CSR, Leadership, and Climate Change, among others.·Behavioral – Learning on Doing: The programme will organize a series of field trips with a specific focus of attention on sustainability and social responsibility themes. The aim is to learn about a specific case study and contribute to its responsible and sustainable enhancement (i.e. visit of indigenous communities; social enterprises; inclusive communities; civil organizations fighting against pollution or preserving tropical fauna/flora; etc.); it also provides the opportunities to learn how social enterprises and business work can contribute to sustainable development.
