Undergraduate Semester in Dialogue
The Undergraduate Semester in Dialogue addresses three fundamental challenges in contemporary education:
- inspiring students with a sense of civic responsibility;
- encouraging their passion to improve society;
- developing innovative multidisciplinary tools for creative problem solving.
Each semester, the course focuses on one pressing public issue. In an intensive learning experience, the small group of students engages in dialogue activities with a broad range of experts and activists to formulate their own active responses to the topic. The semester is challenging and demanding, but students are rewarded with a sense of legitimate achievement and skills that will serve them in the future.
