Digital Society Initiative

Social Innovation for Development & Sustainability through HOPE

HOPE will release its project-based learning course on the topic «Social Innovation for Development and Sustainability» in fall 2024. Hubs of Open and Participatory Education for Digitally Connected Learning (HOPE) is one of the central educational activities of The BRIDGE Lab, a project in the «DSI Infrastructures & Labs» series.

How can we generate impact through social innovation? What digital skills can we leverage to achieve sustainable development goals? What pathways can we follow to work together across cultures and sectors?

These and similar questions will be addressed starting this fall in the project-based learning course on «Social Innovation for Development and Sustainability». The course is designed to bring together students from University of Zurich and University of Geneva, alongside refugee learners living in camps in Kenya, Niger and Jordan, to co-create technology for development solutions for real-world challenges, during a 4-day tutorial session in a hybrid format.

Module booking is now open on the UZH Course Catalogue with 3 ECTS.

Practice partners include the InZone Program, the Geneva Centre of Humanitarian Studies, and leading international organisations operating in humanitarian crisis contexts.

The course is offered by «Hubs of Open and Participatory Education for Digitally Connected Learning» (HOPE), which is a project funded by the UZH Teaching Fund (ULF), as one of the key educational activities of The BRIDGE Lab (part of the «DSI Infrastructues & Labs» series).
