What a meaningful course. It changed my view, showed me that even though it may be small changes that it makes a difference.
Loved it! I learned so much, really valuable information with incredible people. I feel very lucky to have has access to all of this material.
A very human course, where the world problems are presented (in various fields of interest) and useful opinions and advice are provided to resanr our living conditions in order to improve our world, now so deteriorated.

A very interesting analysis of system- or macro-level social change, primarily through the eyes of economists and international aid workers. Reviews change in health, poverty, gender discrimination, etc. by interviewing experts from academia as well as institutions like the World Bank and the UN. I learned heaps, and I am sure that most others would have the same experience.
