Overview
Benefitting from passionate teachers/researchers and external lecturers, you experience the fringes of Amsterdam where post-growth initiatives blossom, and you develop your own symbiotic, circular experiment.
Features
- In the Circular Economics and the Symbiotic City - Theory and Practice programme from Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam you participate in active and creative workshops and field trips, and attend lectures from experts about the essentials and practicalities of Circular Economics.
Programme Structure
Curriculum:- Today, over half of the world population live in urban settings. This is expected to rise to 70% in 2050. The urbanisation of the human population, the future of planetary health and the interaction between environmental change and human activity will depend substantially on policies enacted in cities.
- Urbanisation provides both risks and opportunities in times of ill planetary health. Cities generate the bulk of global economic activity and emit about 75% of the global energy-related greenhouse gases.
- On the other hand, biodiversity increases in well-planned or abandoned urban areas where green spaces provide refuge for human and nonhuman communities. And we adapt to changing circumstances as high-heat warning systems and interventions keep people cooler and more hydrated.
