Registration for the summer school is now open!
There is no time to spare! Our response to the final warning on climate change is to act with you here and now. The plan is simple. We build upon who we are and more forward based on what we can do right away. Ready? Join us in Warsaw this July, share your experience, and co-design the change! We are going to be that change together!
Through international peer-to-peer networking within our ENHANCE academic community, you will learn about global climate change issues and define local opportunities using the Problem-based learning (PBL) approach. Experienced tutors will support your work by providing knowledge on climate change, sharing ready-to-use teamwork methods, boosting your creativity, and taking care of comfortable environments for your work. But first and foremost, we are open to your perspectives and ideas. Whatever unconventional you suggest, we will follow your own life-based experience, good vibe, and creativity. We don’t want to put you in lectures, we want to allow you to work together and look for interesting solutions.
After some warm-up collaboration online (4th-5th July 2023), we will work together on-site in Warsaw, Poland (10th-14th July 2023).
Form of activities include guest lectures, self-readings, group discussions, but most of all, hands-on designing, prototyping, and testing your ideas. We aim to deliver and publish fresh ideas for the ENHANCE community we all create.
Participation is highly competitive and will be limited to a maximum of 39 students from all ENHANCE universities, Lviv Polytechnic National University, and the National Technical University of Ukraine in Kyiv (ENHANCE Network Partners).
