"The Future of Europe": A CIVICA Multicampus Course

05-10-2022

The Multicampus Course “The Future of Europe” is organised and delivered by instructors from across the alliance. As its name suggests, its objective is to examine four major challenges facing the future of Europe: globalisation and post-globalisation, innovation and digitalisation, democratisation, and the green transition.

Sciences Po is one of the founding members and coordinator of CIVICA, the European University of Social Sciences which is to collaborate on education and research in social sciences. One of the key initiatives of the alliance is the Europeanship Multicampus Course organised between seven of the partner universities for their European students. 

The Multicampus Course “The Future of Europe” is organised and delivered by instructors from across the alliance. As its name suggests, its objective is to examine four major challenges facing the future of Europe: globalisation and post-globalisation, innovation and digitalisation, democratisation, and the green transition.

In this video, Arancha González, Dean of the Paris School of International Affairs (Sciences Po) and Cornelia Woll, Dean of Hertie School in Berlin, discuss their approach for the first module of the course on globalisation. 

The course innovates in mixing lectures by professors, local adaptations, and group work in the form of capstone projects responding to policy challenges. These capstone projects are an excellent opportunity for students to apply their knowledge to a real-life, practical challenge, guided by supervisors. The best capstone projects can even win a prize.

The Multicampus Course will spark a truly European debate between students and instructors from across the alliance, in the true spirit of CIVICA.
