Cíle předmětu
The aim of the course is to show the diversity of perspectives on international development, progress, well-being and the related prospects of change options for achieving them. In the first part of the course we will focus on identifying the assumptions underlying our ideas about development, progress and well-being. We will also focus on how global issues are influenced by power relations in history (colonialism) and today (global capitalism). We will then look at conceptualizing systemic change.

Výukové metody
Classes are taught in blocks of 3 full days (always 10:00-17:40) during the semester and 1 half-day during the exam period (time to be specified during the class). Between the blocks there is individual reading and work, which is then worked on in class. Full attendance at all classes, continuous reading and participation in the exam are required for successful completion of the course. Classes are interactive and involve active participation of all participants.
Metody hodnocení
To be meaningful, collaboration in the course requires each student to take responsibility for their personal freedom and boundaries, to participate in fostering an environment of trust in the class and to be able to make a commitment (active participation, continuous work between meetings, group work, written reflections, reading). Collaborative reflection and assessment will take place at the last meeting, where the results of the students' group work will be presented. Attendance at all block teaching meetings as well as the exam meeting is required to pass the course. Partial absences are not anticipated, or will be dealt with by continuous work by individual arrangement.
