Basic module 2

In BM2, social and human sciences will reflect on knowledge generation, problem formulation and identification, and collaboration across disciplines and sectors. Participants will be encouraged to question their own systems of thinking. Collaboration tools are presented and put into practice. The ethical values and philosophical concepts of One Health will be illustrated and discussed. The concept of common pool resources management is presented from a socio-anthropological angle, and an excursion to a village in Wallis will demonstrate its practical application for sustainability.

Day 1 (with td-net): tools for intersectoral/transdisciplinary collaboration
Day 2: the humanities and social sciences perspective on the One Health approach
Day 3: an excursion to Törbel (Wallis)
