Transformation & Shaping Futures (I)
22 Outubro 2021, 16:00 • João Guerra
On October 23, 2021, the session of the Seminar “Science of Sustainability and Climate Change” (SCSAC) was led by Dr. Olivia Bina and facilitated by Gideon Osabutey and Guillermo Porriños. During the first part of the session, attendants exposed their own ideas of what needs to change. During the second part, Dr. Bina exposed main theories of transformative change, structuring the lecture on three parts: why we need to change our global system; what we should change; and how to change it.
Two weeks before the session, the attendants were asked to send a picture of something that represented for them the most important “thing” that needed changing. Alongside the image, students were asked to send three words that, in their view, best described what needs changing. The images were presented during the first half of the lecture, and students were invited to explain, in one minute, their choice of words and image.
