Our Pre-Training Program
Before launching our new Transdisciplinary Problem Solving courses, we ran an introductory programme to help students step into the work prepared. The series opens with why transdisciplinary practice is essential for addressing global challenges, then moves to the core competencies students will develop and what they can expect from the courses themselves. It closes with practical strategies for teamwork and collaboration, plus clear guidelines and a complete course overview. Watch the full series on our YouTube channel.
Active Learning for Transdisciplinary Education
Real-world problems don’t respect disciplinary boundaries, and students can’t learn to cross them by listening. This five-part series shows how to design courses where students do the work: setting competency-based outcomes, aligning activities and assessment, writing a course narrative students can navigate, running problem-based learning and other active methods, and assessing through authentic tasks rather than recall. It’s made for university lecturers, trainers, and course designers working in any discipline.
