Educational project
How to accompany social transformation in a responsible and sustainable way? How to help public and private organizations in innovating to face the challenges of contemporaneity? It is necessary for everyone to rethink the way they work, they plan, they grow. The reorientation rests on the knowledge that prosperity (in individuals, business and community) depends on the equilibrium relationships between local and global ecosystems, short and long term impacts, user communities, producers, citizens, legal systems and the unprecedented scenarios of the media and the technology. Challenges that were brought to light by the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals and that companies and single organizations must face and require new professional figures capable of interpreting the present and designing solutions e innovative visions for organizations. The Specializing Master is dedicated to people who want to acquire the necessary skills to lead the transformation of organizations (public and private, profit and non-profit) that understood how social, environmental and economic responsibility are today real opportunities for development and growth. The Master integrates tools and methods of Design, able to translate expressed or latent needs into strategic visions and concrete solutions, with the interpretation and even radical innovation of the Art to understand the challenges of the contemporary, with knowledge of social economy and business design. The Master was conceived and developed with the Fondazione Pistoletto, that has been training facilitators of social transformation through art since the 1990s and its objective is to provide methods, tools and approaches for the analysis of complex problems up to to the conception, development and implementation of solutions and strategies.
