The course builds on the knowledge and skills acquired in the spring semester focusing on a variety of current issues chosen by the instructor related to topics such as economics, the environment, human rights, politics, health, culture, media, globalization, education, gender and society in order to increase students’ basic local, regional and global knowledge, as well as critical thinking and understanding.
