Description of the initiative
The course introduces the social and civil dimension as an indicator of a possible "other" mission of SDG 4[1]. We aim to transfer to the civil society something related to achieving awareness and participation about sustainable development through the adoption of practices and systemic actions produced by the network of Goals called SDGs. The expected learning outcome is achieved by knowing each specific SDG and understanding how to act within the targets and indicators connected with the network of SDGs. The course educates systemic thinking that recovers the interdisciplinary view of problems to understand reality in global and interconnected ways. Finally, the course enriches the students' educational experiences through the concrete application of the contents learned through new theoretical and practical tools. Providing learners with skills to think the complexity will help create more effective SDG implementers thus helping the acceleration of the implementation of all the SDGs.
SUBJECT AND PROGRAMME OF THE COURSE
The course is divided into four modules plus an internship which the partners will offer to a limited number of proactive participants. The course includes 4 modules. Module 0 is an introduction to the epistemology of the Metropolitan Discipline and deal with the importance of the ecosystem and the construction of knowledge to achieve sustainable development of the contemporary city.
Module A is dedicated to the literature on the SDGs and the values underlying this approach.
Module B deals with a critical analysis of the SDGs. It will be the most analytical module where the 17 Goals will be unpacked and discussed by a Politecnico lecturer within invited international experts in several cases from UNHabitat, which promoted the goals and NUA.
Module C introduces the tools to obtain a meta-project as a basis for dialogue and negotiation between the metropolitan city's different disciplinary approaches and competencies. The policies necessary to achieve sustainable development can be identified. This module also includes tools applications that can bring together different disciplinary knowledge.
Internship
It will be offered to a selected number of participants by UN-Habitat
[1] Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4) is the education goal. It aims to "ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.

Note
Module 0 Transversal technical competencies and management skills: The construction of knowledge and the group as the knowing agent. The module introduces the metacognitive aspect, which is an essential component of transdisciplinary and complexity required by the SDGs perspective. With regard to creativity, the most salient aspect this Module offers is the ability to multiply individual potentialities when working in concert with others.
Module A The Literature_ SDGs Introduction addresses a wide range of multifaceted and interconnected social, economic and environmental challenges involving complex interlinkages, uncertainties and conflicting values. A first discussion should consist of a comparison of the integrated, multi-level urban strategies we have adopted in the past to identify priority actions and assess the impact of the SDGs at multiple levels.
Module B Synthetic interpretation of the SDGs as the realisation of the New Urban Agenda. SDGs, Targets and Indicators analysis "unpacks" interpretation of their actual practicality. We propose the study of the different aspects related to the use of the SDGs: 1_ their general validity at a global scale;2_ the possibility of adapting their use to different projects;3_ their more instrumental aspect linked to indicators and the possibility of monitoring the metropolitan final project;4_ the systemic nature of the projects based on the use of the SDGs and the indirect correlations activated by sectoral projects.
Module C The Tools and the Practice. Cognitive and cartography tools starting from the physical dimension of the territory at different scales will support the elaboration of a meta-project as a plan of negotiation and dialogue, able to identify the values underlying the sustainability objectives and their possible relationships. Metropolitan Cartography, Integrated Modification Methodology (IMM) for the built environment.
