Organizing Self, Others, and Environment:

About the program

This intensive course offers an interdisciplinary exploration of "organization" in three aspects: the individual, the group, and the environment. Thanks to the course you will acquire the tools needed to navigate various organizational structures.

We will focus on hands-on applications and case studies rooted in the city of Wrocław. You will participate in lectures, hands-on workshops, case studies, role-playing activities, group discussions, and guided explorations of urban spaces.

• Learn about heuristics (i.e., cognitive shortcuts) and decision making
