INSTITUTE
ACADEMY
In the academy pillar, we focus on bringing the knowledge and insights from our collaborative spaces to professionals and communities. We do this through our regionally targeted capacity building courses, our online educational activities, and our public outreach initiatives.
We organise global training programmes that work towards the implementation of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in targeted regions. These trainings are conducted for all levels of urban professionals that are directly involved in shaping the social, economic and environmental strategies of municipalities and regions. Stay up to date with our social media to participate in training programmes in your region!
To ensure our capacity building activities are accessible to as many people as possible, we organise educational and outreach programmes online. This involves pre-recorded mini-MOOCs, webinars, and online workshops as well as recorded conversations, instructional videos and mini-docs. Follow us on social media to see what we’re working on right now!
MINI MOOCs
We are currently working on a range of mini-MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) that focus on new strategies, methods and considerations in urban and regional development. Stay tuned!
Storytelling for citizen participation
Stories matter. We are working on a number of publications that promote the use of storytelling in citizen participation activities, to create spaces where communities can share their experiences and perspectives. Our digital storytelling tools make telling stories accessible to many people and use AI-powered visualisation modules.
