Sustainable Development Goals 2030
The course will support goals 10 and 13 of the 2030 Agenda, i.e., "Reduce inequality", “acting for climate”, stimulating students to develop solutions and proposals aimed at enhancing and promoting pro-environmental behaviours, especially for minority and stigmatized groups.
