INTRODUCTION IN SUSTAINABILITY
This module takes you on a 2-months journey about sustainability, you'll understand global trends and will see the big picture in different sectors: food industry, fashion and beauty, urbanism. You'll learn about the most progressive people, technologies and companies and will discuss how to adapt this to your local market.
You wake up in the morning and cook breakfast, you put on clothes and go out. You drive to school, uni or work, you catch up with friends in the cafe in the evening — everything you do can be done in a more sustainable way. And there are people who build this new sustainable infrastructure and change the world. You'll learn all about them and their technologies.
