Timetable & learning outcomes
This summer school consisted of 5 half-day sessions of distance training, providing participants with a critical and complementary analysis of the evolution of African cities over the past 20 years, as well as the challenges and opportunities for the next ten years in the context of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) agenda.
Participants were expected to collaborate within multidisciplinary working groups on a multidisciplinary project or policy brief that addressed some of the unique challenges facing African cities.
The programme offered a variety of learning experiences, including: interactions with experts on major development issues for African cities over the next ten years, interactions within a multidisciplinary and international group of students, live distance learning sessions, distance group work, reverse teaching and oral presentations.
