Course overview:
“Cultural Sustainability and Communication” provides students with the opportunity to learn about visual arts and sustainability. The course includes a field trip and interaction with experts from the field of culture. Participants are encouraged to constantly reflect on the theories and expose themselves to the forms of art, individually or in groups.
The course is intensive and involves teamwork. Students’ creative, persuasive, and social skills are essential for each assignment. From the communication perspective, students will apply the business communication strategies learned from the basic course and have the capacity to integrate the humanistic approach in their oral and written tasks. Students will benefit from interaction with experts, peer reviews, consultations, and lecturer feedback.
The meetings take place on Tuesdays 12:30-14:00 and 14:15-15:45 in 408 and occasionally in Futurum.
