This year's course will focus on education for complexity, which is the only way to curb the tendency towards simplification prevailing in a society, such as the present one, characterized by immediate and horizontal communication dynamics, which generate widespread phenomena of illiteracy and the worrying spread of fake news.
The meetings will take place between November 2021 and April 2022 and will also be open to students.
They will start at 15:00 and will always be accessible remotely on the Teams platform.
