The TrUST project (Politecnico di Torino), together with the H2020 SHAPE-ID project, organise a two-day Unconference on inter/trans-disciplinary (ITD) educational tools and approaches that can support and improve sustainability education in the realm of urban transitions.

The Unconference will be held on 17th and 18th February 2020 at the UNESCO Heritage site of the Valentino Castle in Turin, Italy.

The two days will see an initial and final set of international keynotes focusing on the new learning paradigms for sustainability education, from primary schools to tertiary education. There will be two parallel sessions: an expert meeting (by invitation) will produce a written mission on the “education for urban sustainability” challenge, exploring what kind of inter/trans-disciplinary (ITD) educational tools and approaches can support and improve sustainability education in the realm of urban transitions. and the world-cafè sessions(for everyone) will let the participants turning up to self-manage their own burning questions, listen to those of others, participate in a lot of discussions on ITD education experiences.

  The main goal of the Unconference is to bring people together who are interested in improving and innovating their own (and indeed others’) ITD perspectives, and who are currently or have recently been involved in projects relating the transformative education towards a global citizenship concept.

 We will analyse Inter/Trans-Disciplinary (ITD) educational models and approaches that support sustainable urban transformation, as research addressing SDG 4 – Quality education and SDG 11 – Make cities inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable and the Horizon 2020 European societal challenges.
