SHOUT Sustaining sustainability
The complex global challenges that we are facing today cannot be explained by physical, environmental and biological causes alone; humans play a central role. Understanding the human factor is fundamental and can only be achieved by investigating the historical, cultural and communication processes in which human life is embedded.

We invite you to explore, share and learn more about how, we, humans, can be more sustainable through cooperation between universities, business, and non-governmental institutions. Particularly, we are going to discuss the contribution of social sciences and humanities (SSH) to addressing sustainability issues (based on Sustainable Development Goals). During SHOUT project, we have implemented various methods and activities in order to foster sustainability involving companies, tutors and students. We will be happy to share our lessons learnt as well as learn more from you during interactive workshops.

We invite people working in business, non-governmental institutions and universities, who are interested in sustainability and actual applications. Students are also encourage to join!

Workshops:


A. The Scenario Exploration System (SES)

The Scenario Exploration System (SES) is a board game that explores different scenarios in global economics and policies. The goal of the game is to stimulate engagement with stakeholders where you can play the role of business, policymaker, civil society, or the public voice. The game uses a solution-oriented approach that can apply to any policy topic and is a future simulation tool to explore possible paths towards the future, in relation to a certain topic.

Players objective is to:

· Pursue their long-term objectives

· Interact with each other

· Use their own scenario dependent resources

· Make decisions based on foreseen and unforeseen events

B. Critical thinking and Sustainability

Typical Socratic dialogue discussion about critical thinking and sustainable development. Characteristics of Socratic dialogue are very good group dynamics, well-directed questions, logical questioning, critical thinking strategies etc.

There are main questions for this workshops:

· What is critical thinking

· Why we need critical thinking

· Everybody talk about sustainable development – what is it?

· Why we need sustainable development?

· Can we have sustainable development without critical thinking? Really?


C. Participatory action research (PAR)

The workshop will address nowadays issues using methods of participatory action research. Participants will discuss the collaborations between researchers, communities and civil society and apply PAR to face local issues (such as resource management, gender equality, etc.), resulting in greater ownership of local problems as a step towards sustainable development. This workshop will allow one contributing towards the development of new knowledge and insights on various societal challenges linked to SDGs, playing an important role in providing sustainable solutions.
